JUVENTUS could make a move to land Manchester United star David De Gea at the end of the season, reports suggest.
De Gea's contract, which earns him around £350,000 per week, runs out in June and United manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly not convinced he wants his deal to be extended.
According to Calciomercato, Juve could swoop in if the star goalkeeper becomes a free agent in the summer.
The Bianconeri are keen on signing a new keeper with ex-Arsenal ace Wojciech Szczesny's deal expiring in 2024.
Meanwhile, United could consider bringing Everton star Jordan Pickford as De Gea's replacement between the sticks.
Pickford has various clubs carefully monitoring his situation as he will have just one year left on his contract at the end of the season.
