Juventus want Thiago Motta?

Italian champions Juventus are reportedly preparing a move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta.

The 31-year-old has impressed for the French outfit since joining from Inter Milan in 2012, but his current contract comes to an end in 2015.

According to Tuttosport, Juve have identified Motta as their primary target to replace Andrea Pirlo, who is widely expected to leave Italy when his deal comes to an end in the summer.

It is believed that Motta could be available for as little as £3.5m in January.
