Juventus join hunt for Internacional's Leandro Damiao

Juventus are reportedly interested in bringing Brazilian striker Leandro Damiao to Turin.

The 22-year-old's agent claimed that his client is not expecting to leave current club Internacional in the near future. However, manager Antonio Conte has decided to launch a £17m bid all the same, according to Sky Sports 24.

Damiao, who made his first international appearance for Brazil in 2011, scored 39 goals in all club competitions this season.

Team officials are expected to meet next week in an attempt to work out a deal for the forward, who has also been linked with Tottenham and Serie A rivals AC Milan. However, Internacional are understood to be expecting a deal closer to £25m.
