Three Italian teams are reportedly chasing Corinthians defender Andre Santos, according to Sportmediaset.it, with Juventus, Roma and Fiorentina having all expressed their interest in the Brazilian international player.

According to these reports, the Bianconeri are leading the pack, encouraged by the player himself who earlier declared that he would be extremely happy to play in Turin.

This suggests that the Old Lady have shifted their attention away from Liverpool player Andrea Dossena and Olympique Lyon defender Fabio Grosso, in order to concentrate on Andre Santos.

The Brazilian would only cost Juventus around €6-7 million and is much younger than Grosso at 26 years of age.

Roma are just behind the Bianconeri and are closely monitoring the situation and ready to pounce should the opportunity present itself in the coming days or weeks.

Andre Santos has just won the Confederations Cup with his national team and was a starter for the Verdeoro during the competition.
