Juventus have been linked with a move by Rick Karsdorp and Álvaro Odriozola in recent weeks as they look to bolster their squad ahead of an important second half of the season.
Karsdorp is available for transfer after falling out with José Mourinho at AS Roma.
The defender is one of the best players in his position in Serie A and Juventus believe he can do a job for them.
The Bianconeri are exploring adding him to their squad in January, but they also like Real Madrid’s Odriozola.
The Spaniard spent last season on loan at Fiorentina, so he also has Serie A experience which will come in handy if he returns to the competition.
A report on Calciomercato has now revealed that the Bianconeri may have to focus on Karsdorp because Roma want Odriozola.
The ideal scenario is that Juve allow the Giallorossi to buy the Spaniard and can sign Karsdorp perhaps permanently, rather than the initial plan to sign him on loan.
Juve FC says
Karsdorp is a player who we think can do a job for us, so it is important to decide if he is better than Odriozola.
If so, we can add him to our squad and allow Roma to move for the Madrid man, which will be a win-win situation for both of us.
