Juventus are showing an interest in Newcastle fullback Daryl Janmaat.

The Bianconeri scouted the Dutch defender in the final weeks of the Premier League season and reportedly see him as an ideal turnover alternative for Stephan Lichtsteiner.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Old Lady will attempt to lower the €7 million asking price set by the Magpies.

However, Juventus will face the stiff competition from fellow Serie A clubs Inter and Napoli, who are also considering putting forward a bid for the 26-year-old.

Janmaat is believed to be on his way out of the Saint James’ Park after Newcastle were relegated at the conclusion of the Premier League campaign.

Nevertheless, the Netherlands international showed consistent form throughout the season and accumulated 32 league appearances, scoring two goals in the process.
