Juventus are preparing a bid in the region of €10 million (£9m/$11m) for young Barcelona left-back Juan Miranda, Goal can confirm.
The 21-year-old has been on the Bianconeri's radar for some time and sporting director Fabio Paratici has travelled to Catalunya with hopes of getting a deal over the line before the closure of the summer transfer window.
Doing so is unlikely to be easy, however, with the Spanish champions wary of letting go of such a highly-rated raw talent to a European rival. As such, Barca would prefer to loan out Miranda, with Ligue 1 side Marseille seemingly in pole position to land the player.
