According to Calciomercato.it, both Juventus and Roma have set their sights on Amartey.

They could join up with a smaller Serie A club to sign him initially, thereby not using up one of their limited slots for non-EU players.

The Italian giants face competition from the likes of Monaco, Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Galatasaray.
