  The report suggests Juventus are not looking to spend a fortune on a new defender and that is the reason both Maguire and Dier have been highlighted.

  Between them, the England duo have 113 international caps to their name. They would bring experience and leadership to Juventus in a league that would suit both players with less intensity and high pressing from teams.
