Juventus make a check on Valon Behrami

Juventus have made an enquiry into the availability of Fiorentina midfielder Valon Behrami, Tuttosport reveals.

The Bianconeri are negotiating a sale of Amauri to Fiorentina and they have used the talks to make a check on Valon Behrami.

Boss Antonio Conte is short of options in the centre of the park after switching to 4-3-3 and he believes the Swiss international would be a good addition to the squad.

The Old Lady are hoping to bring the 26-year-old in January, but it remains to be seen whether Viola are willing to negotiate.

Behrami arrived to Artemio Franchi a year ago from West Ham and has since impressed everyone at the club.

The battling midfielder started 16 Serie A games this season, missing one match through suspension.

Behrami has been linked with a number of high-profile clubs over the last few months, but Juventus are the first club to make their interest concrete.
