Juventus have reportedly identified Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves as a possible signing for the January transfer window.
Neves is currently in his second season at Molineux, with the 21-year-old having established himself as a key member of the Premier League side.
The Portugal international has a contract until 2023, but that has not stopped a number of European football's top clubs from showing an interest in the player.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus are considering trying to steal a march on some of their rivals by launching a big-money offer at the midway point of the campaign.
Neves is said to be one of a number of names mentioned at a transfer meeting earlier this week, despite the club being well-stocked for options in the middle of the park.
Wolves are unlikely to be prepared to sell Neves for any price in January as they attempt to avoid a relegation battle during the closing months of the season.
