Italian champions Juventus are weighing up January bid for Benfica midfielder Bryan Cristante, according to Tuttosport.
The 22-year-old was rated as one of AC Milan’s hottest prospects when he was surprisingly allowed to join the Eagles in 2014, and he in turn struggled to make an impact at Estadio da Luz.
However, Cristante has largely impressed during the loan spell with Atalanta, scoring 3 goals in 8 Serie A games this season.
Juventus scouts appear to have been impressed with the talented central midfielder and the Bianconeri have decided to try and bring the player to Turin.
The Italian giants want Atalanta to exercise the buy-out option as Orobici would be easier to negotiate with than Benfica.
Cristante made his Italy debut in the 2018 World Cup qualifier against FYR Macedonia, coming on as a second-half substitute.
