Juventus have opened talks about a deal for Southampton defender Cedric Soares, according to reports in his native Portugal.

The 25-year-old has been a revelation since joining the Saints from Sporting Lisbon in 2015, emerging as one of the most consistent full-backs in the Premier League.

His form has not gone unnoticed on the continent and Serie A champions Juventus are well aware of Soares' progress on the south coast of England.
