BOLOGNA striker Marko Arnautovic has emerged as a shock target for Juventus after Manchester United pulled out of the race to sign him.
The 33-year-old was the subject of a £6.8million bid from the Red Devils last week with Erik ten Hag keen to bolster his attack.
But their offer was knocked back with Bologna director Marco Di Viao insisting he is not for sale.
United then withdrew their pursuit of the player following huge fan backlash.
Even club legends Gary Neville and Roy Keane were left shocked at their interest in the Austria international as they labelled their former employers as "desperate".
Arnautovic then broke his silence on his future on Saturday where he declared that he is solely focused on Bologna.

However that could soon change with it claimed how Juventus are looking to bring him to Turin.
Transfer guru Nicola Schira has stated how Old Lady sporting director Federico Cherubini has been in contact with Arnautovic's agents.
The Italian reporter has said he is seen as a potential replacement for on-loan striker Moise Kean.
Schira tweeted: "Juventus are still interested in Marko Arnautovic.

"Cherubini has talked with his agents last week.
"If Moise Kean leaves, Juve will try to sign Bologna 's striker."
Arnautovic failed to let rumours surrounding his future affect him on Sunday as he scored in Bologna's 2-1 away defeat against Lazio.
His strike only infuriated United fans even more after they were embarrassed at Brentford on Saturday after losing 4-0 in West London.
