Juventus are ready to push forward plans for Napoli defender Fabiano Santacroce after previous negotiations failed.
The Bianconeri have been keen on the stopper for a while and they tried to land him last month. At that time, Napoli wanted €8 million for their man and thus the deal went cold.
However, on Tuesday, the player's agent, Antonio Dell'Aglio, claimed Juve were interested in his client, fuelling speculation that the 22-year-old was on his way.
Tuttosport claim Juve want to take him on a one-year loan as Napoli coach Roberto Donadoni doesn't consider Santacroce as a first team regular. The Bianconeri are now trying to work towards a temporary deal with the option to buy him permanently next season for €4.5m - the figure that was paid for the stopper by the Partenopei.
Initially, the Turin-based side had hoped for a possible swap deal in which Santacroce would have exchanged places with Paolo De Ceglie, but the latter's agent closed the door, claiming his client wanted to remain in Turin.
