Juventus have reportedly met with Tottenham Hotspur over signing out-of-favour Brazilian midfielder Paulinho this month.
Speculation has mounted that the Italian champions have emerged as favourites to land the 26-year-old, who joined Spurs for £17m from Corinthians just 18 months ago.
Delegates from both clubs flew to Milan recently in an effort to thrash out a deal for the player, with another meeting scheduled in the coming days, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
The Bianconeri's Serie A rivals Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli have also been credited with an interest.
Paulinho is yet to start a Premier League game under manager Mauricio Pochettino this season, with all of his seven appearances coming from the bench.
