Juventus lead the chase for Udinese's Allan?

Champions League finalists Juventus are ready to beat Inter Milan to the signing of Udinese's defensive midfielder Allan, according to reports.

The 24-year-old former Brazil Under-20 international joined Udinese from Deportivo Maldonado in 2012, and has since made over 100 appearances for the Serie A club.

His performances over the last two seasons have earned him many plaudits, with Juventus now determined to hold off their rivals and complete a deal in the coming days, reports Sky Sports Italia.

Allan was a part of the Brazil side that beat Portugal to win the 2011 Under-20 World Cup in Colombia.
