Juventus are preparing an offer for Hamburg midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart, according to Tuttosport.
The Dutch star is one of the most highly-rated midfielders in Europe and has also recently been linked with a move to Real Madrid, Valencia and Chelsea.
The 24-year-old, who has had a sensational start to the new German season with seven goals in his first nine games, is available for the modest sum of €12m.
Juventus director of sport Alessio Secco is said to be a huge admirer of the player and is prepared to fork out eight to 10 million to bring him to Turin.
Van der VaartÂ’s preferred destination is said to be Spain, and his favourite club as a young boy was Barcelona.
