Juventus and Lazio are ready to make another assault on want-away Marseille centre-back Doria when the transfer window re-opens in January.

The 20-year-old Brazilian was a target of both Serie A sides in the summer when he was still at Botafogo, but eventually sealed a move to Ligue 1 in the concluding days of the transfer window.

Marseille coach Marcelo Bielsa however revealed in an explosive press conference earlier this season, that the signing was not the one he wanted and was made against his wishes by the club’s directors.

TuttoMercatoWeb report that Juventus and Lazio are ready to make another play for the commanding central defender in January, and will make a loan bid with an option to buy for the summer.

Doria has yet to make his debut with Marseille since his move in the summer, with Bielsa content on making him wait.
