Juventus have made an offer to sign Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer this summer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Federico Gatti and Lloyd Kelly have been underwhelming on the left side of the Juventus defence, prompting the need to sign a new defender to give manager Luciano Spalletti better options.
The Bianconeri are eyeing Senesi, whose contract runs out in June.
Senesi has been one of the most reliable centre-backs in the Premier League, earning plaudits for his displays.
The Argentine has created six big chances in 26 Premier League appearances this season. He has helped the Cherries keep seven clean sheets.
Juventus could use a reliable partner for Gleison Bremer in the centre of defence, and Senesi fits the bill.
After making their proposal, Juventus expect other parties to register their interest and make offers.
The 28-year-old will have his pick of clubs this summer, with Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Dortmund, Aston Villa and Chelsea also admiring him.
Juventus face a fight to reclaim the Scudetto. While the hiring of Spalletti is a step in the right direction, the club desperately needs quality players.
Former Italy international Antonio Cassano claimed the club needed 10 players in the upcoming transfer window.
Besides a new centre-back, they need quality in the engine room and in attack. Juventus also need good ball-progressing full-backs, especially on the right flank.
They must sign a new centre-forward with Jonathan David, Lois Openda and Dusan Vlahovic all disappointing to varying degrees in the role.
