EXCLUSIVE

Juventus have stepped up their bid to sign Patrik Schick in an effort to fend off competition from Serie A rivals Inter and Roma for the Sampdoria striker.

The Czech Republic international only arrived in Genoa last summer but the €4 million acquisition from Sparta Prague has enjoyed a sensational debut season in Italy, netting 13 times in 34 appearances in all competitions.

Schick's fine form has attracted the interest of Serie A's finest and Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has been in constant contact with Sampdoria over the past few months as the Suning group that controls the Nerazzurri looks to overhaul the club's playing squad with a summer spending spree.
