Juventus are reportedly planning to hijack any approach Real Madrid make to sign Paul Pogba from Manchester United this summer.
Pogba was heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the first half of the season, but Jose Mourinho's departure and the subsequent improvement in form under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lessened his desire to leave.
However, the World Cup winner revived the speculation over his future last week by admitting that it would be a "dream" to play for Madrid under compatriot Zinedine Zidane.
Los Blancos are planning a major overhaul of their squad this summer following a dismal campaign by their usual standards, and Pogba is understood to be on their radar as a potential 'Galactico' signing.
However, Don Balon reports that Juventus are keen to bring him back to Turin, where he won four successive Serie A titles with the club before returning to United in 2016.
The Italian champions are hopeful that the lure of playing with Cristiano Ronaldo will be enough to convince Pogba to choose them over Madrid should he leave the Premier League this summer.
Pogba made 178 appearances across all competitions during his time in Italy, scoring 34 goals in the process.
