Juventus have joined the lengthy list of clubs asking about Carney Chukwuemeka.
Chelsea have already dismissed loan offers from Borussia Dortmund and insist he is only available in a permanent sale close to his £40million buy out.
The Italian giants are exploring midfield reinforcements with Douglas Luiz nearing an initial loan move to Nottingham Forest, and Chukwuemeka has emerged as one of their leading targets.
Dortmund, who took the 21-year-old on loan for the second half of last season, had hoped to bring him back to Germany but have been left frustrated by Chelsea’s demands.
