Juventus lining up £9m bid for Barcelona defender Juan Miranda?

Juventus are reportedly attempting to complete the signing of young Barcelona defender Juan Miranda.

While the Serie A champions have already added Matthijs de Ligt to their first-team squad this summer, it remains unclear whether there will be further changes to Maurizio Sarri's backline.

According to Calciomercato, sporting director Fabio Paratici has made the trip to Barcelona to try to secure the signature of 19-year-old Miranda.

The prospect made four appearances in cup competitions during the last campaign, and the left-back is currently expecting to build upon that over the current season.

However, it appears that Juventus regard the Spain Under-19 international, who has two years left on his contract, as a long-term option on that side of their defence.

Marseille are also said to be monitoring the situation.
