Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Juventus winger Federico Chiesa.
The Italy international spent two years on loan at Juventus from Fiorentina, before his move was made permanent last summer.
In 69 appearances with the Turin club, Chiesa has scored 19 goals and 16 assists, but his progress this season has been hampered by injury.
Chiesa, who played a key role in Italy's Euro 2020 success, has missed a significant amount of the current campaign through injury.
However, he has featured in all five of Juventus's competitive games since the World Cup break, recently scoring the winner in a 2-1 Coppa Italia victory over Monza, setting up a quarter-final tie with Lazio.

Although Chiesa is under contract until June 2025, his future at Juventus appears to be uncertain due to the club's off-field issues.
The Italian giants have recently been deducted 15 points in Serie A due to alleged false accounting and financial irregularities.
Several clubs are believed to be monitoring the situation, with a number of Juventus' star players linked with a move away, including Chiesa.
According to Calciomercatoweb, Manchester United have identified the 25-year-old as a potential transfer target.
The Red Devils, who have signed Wout Weghorst and Jack Butland on loan in January, are weighing up whether to move for Chiesa in the summer.

There is a suggestion that Juventus could reportedly be looking to receive €100m (£88m) for selling one of their prized assets.
Erik ten Hag's side could also face competition from one of their Premier League rivals, with Liverpool also believed to be keeping tabs on Chiesa.
The Italian is reportedly viewed as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose future with Liverpool has recently been called into question.
United are currently preparing to face Reading in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, while Liverpool will try to continue the defence of the trophy that they won last season when they meet Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
