Juventus are ready to move for Manchester United and Tottenham target Mehdi Benatia in January.
The Premier League pair have tracked the Morocco international for over a year and scouts continue to watch him in action for Udinese.
Benatia previously claimed he was flattered by interest from United and was open to a Premier League move.
However, Juventus have since become keen and the Serie A giants have held talks with Udinese regarding the 25-year-old defender.
Benatia's club will demand at least £15million for him when the transfer window and Juventus are ready to cough up.
