JUVENTUS have joined Tottenham in the race to sign Memphis Depay, according to reports.
Barcelona are desperate offload the Dutch striker this summer having stripped him of his No9 shirt so they could hand it to new arrival Robert Lewandowski.
And now journalist Fabrizio Romano is claiming that Italian giants Juventus are considering Depay as they look to sign a new forward.
The 28-year-old, who had a disappointing spell at Manchester United between 2015 and 2017, could return to the Premier League with Spurs continuously linked with him.
However, Romano suggest there has been no official talks between the player and the North London club.
This leaves the door open for Juve to swoop but they are also weighing up moves for Chelsea's Timo Werner and Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata.
