Former Manchester City defender Matija Nastasic is being linked with a move to Italian champions Juventus.
The Serbian international revived his career by joining German side, Schalke 04, in January after being frozen out at Manchester City.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus have offered a deal to the German club that would see the centre-back initially join Juve on loan for a year, with the option to buy the player outright thereafter.
Schalke are looking to sell Nastasic for an upfront fee of €13 million, but a compromise could be reached given the German side’s eagerness to let the Serbian international leave the club in order to raise funds.
Natasic enjoyed an excellent spell in Serie A with Fiorentina during the 2011/12 season which earned him a move to Manchester City for €15 million plus Stefan Savic.
He had a successful first season with the Citizens but subsequently struggled following an injury-ravaged campaign in 2013/14.
The Bianconeri are looking at the 22-year-old as a potential replacement for Angelo Ogbonna who is reportedly close to joining West Ham United.
