Juventus will reportedly do battle with Real Madrid over the transfer of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen next summer.
Eriksen's current contract expires at the end of this season, meaning that the Dane is free to speak with other clubs in January.
It is claimed that Los Blancos came close to completing a deal for Eriksen over the summer transfer window.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Serie A side will look to hijack Real's bid to sign the midfielder by launching an approach of their own.
Juventus have a history of completing shrewd free transfers, as seen with Emre Can, Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey in recent times.
Eriksen was not included in Jose Mourinho's first starting XI against West Ham United over the weekend.
