Juventus have laid eyes on Manchester United midfielder Nani and Real Madrid's Rafael van der Vaart.
Tuttosport reports that the Bianconeri are monitoring Nani's situation at United after he claimed he could leave the club. The Portuguese midfielder suggested he had problems with manager Sir Alex Ferguson in an interview with The Sun.
"If things don't change then I could leave United," Nani said.
His comments have fuelled the speculation that he could leave in January.
It's no secret Ciro Ferrara wants to strengthen during the winter, but the focus is on a defender rather than a midfielder.
Real's Van der Vaart has also been tipped to join Juve, just as he was two years ago. Back then, he expressed his penchant for the Old Lady, but ended up joining the Spanish side last year. However, he has been peripheral in los Blancos' squad and could consider leaving.
"I don't know if I will stay. I could leave as soon as January," the Dutchman is quoted as saying in Tuttosport.
In a separate report, Puntosport.net claims Milan have also joined the race for Nani.
