Juventus lead Pablo Armero chase?

Serie A champions Juventus are reportedly leading the race to sign Udinese defender Pablo Armero.

The 26-year-old, whose current contract expires in June 2015, has also been strongly linked with interest from Liverpool.

However, according to talkSPORT, the Italians giants are the favourites to sign the player and are ready to offer £8m for his services.

Armero has been capped 30 times by Colombia at senior international level.
