Spanish reports claim Juventus are fighting Barcelona for Sevilla midfielder Steven N’Zonzi, perhaps as early as January.
According to Mundo Deportivo, there is a Bianconeri plan to swoop for N’Zonzi during the mid-season window, even if it’ll cost over €30m.
Barcelona appear to have got wind of this and are now rushing to intercept the negotiations with a bid of their own.
However, Sevilla consider N’Zonzi to be off the market and have qualified for the Champions League knockouts, so do not see any reason to sell.

If he were to leave, Sevilla would prefer he go abroad, so Juventus do have the upper hand there.
They can also count on the difficult rapport between Barcelona and Sevilla directors.
