Juventus are laying the groundwork to sign Monaco midfielder Fabinho, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The 24-year-old Brazil international has also been heavily linked with Manchester United, but Juve are hoping to snap him up instead.
“My time with Monaco was good, but I feel it is coming to an end,” Fabinho told Lancenet in February.
“I arrived as an unknown, I made my name at the club, won things – but maybe I need a new challenge.”
He is very versatile, able to play in midfield or at right-back when needed.

Mundo Deportivo claim Juventus see Fabinho as the ideal heir to Sami Khedira and hope their close rapport with agent Jorge Mendes can help negotiations.
Juve already seem to have a deal in place to sign Emre Can as a free agent when his contract with Liverpool expires in June.
