Juventus have laid their eyes on Romania international midfielder Cristian Tanase who plays for FC Arges.

The 22-year-old has popped up on the club's radar as the chase for a midfielder continues. After the Gaetano D'Agostino deal collapsed, Juve have been linked with Liverpool's Xabi Alonso, and now Tuttosport claim Tanase is the latest player to attract attention in Turin.

However, the Old Lady are not the only club interested in the star as Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk are keen on Tanase according to club president Andrei Penescu.

"There are talks underway with Shakhtar directors, but nothing is for certain at the moment.

"If there are other offers then we will accept the best one."

Voices in Romania claim Arges want around €4million, and Fiorentina, Besiktas and Stuttgart are also reportedly interested. Many have claimed Tanase is the new Adrian Mutu.
