Juventus welcomed Portuguese right-back Alberto Costa on Wednesday morning but are still looking for a centre-back to replace the injured Gleison Bremer.

Mundo Deportivo reported this morning that Barcelona had persuaded Juventus’ primary target, Araujo, to remain at the club and potentially extend his contract.

Gazzetta confirms that Araujo’s move has become more difficult for Juventus after Inigo Martinez’s injury, so the Bianconeri have once again set their sights on Tomori.

The Englishman has started four games from four under new coach Sergio Conceiçao, but Gazzetta believes the Juventus offer could tempt the Rossoneri, allowing the club to make a capital gain.

Juventus’ bid is expected to be worth €5m for a loan deal until the end of the season, with an option to buy for €20m and a further €5m add-ons.

Sky maintains that Araujo remains Juventus’ primary target and that the Bianconeri could even offer €50m to sign him this month.
