According to Tuttosport, via Sport Witness, Southampton are one of a number of clubs interested in Juventus midfielder Stefano Sturaro.
Chelsea, Crystal Palace, CSKA Moscow, Lokomotiv Moscow and Leicester are all also thought to be interested in the midfielder this summer.
The 23-year-old played just 19 Serie A matches last season for Juventus, which has led to speculation over his future. However, the report says that Sturaro is about to be handed a new contract by Juventus, who are keen to keep him.
Juventus are ready to offer him a new deal, which he is expected to sign. However, interest from the Premier League could sway his mind and make him reject the contract, so it is all up in the air at present.
Sturaro is currently away on international duty – at the European Championships with Italy – and will make his mind up when he returns to Turin some time next month.
