Juventus are eyeing Manchester United’s full-back Matteo Darmian in the January transfer window.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus want the defender as as a replacement for Swiss defender Stephan Lichtsteiner, who apparently wants to join Inter Milan. Lichtsteiner is in his final year of his contract at Juventus.

Napoli and AS Roma have also shown keen interest in the Manchester United star.

Darmian began his career at Milan, making his Serie A debut at age 17. In 2009, he joined Padova helping the team avoid relegation from Serie B in his only season there.

He then returned to Serie A with Palermo, and one year later, Torino, where he played for four seasons.
