Ogbonna agent opens Juve talks?

Juventus have emerged as rivals to Manchester United and Arsenal for the signature of Torino centre-back Angelo Ogbonna, according to reports.

The 24-year-old, who has won five caps for Italy, has become one of the country's most highly-regarded defenders breaking into the Granata lineup in 2009.

He earned his first call-up for the Azzurri in June 2011 while playing in Serie B.

The Gunners have been rumoured to be lining up a £15m summer bid, but talkSPORT reports that his agent Giovanni Branchini is now in talks with the Bianconeri.

However, it is thought that Torino would be reluctant to sell to their bitter rivals, instead preferring to offload him to a club outside Italy.
