Juventus are thought to be keeping a close eye on Portuguese defender Rolando at Euro 2012. “They’ve been following him for over a year.”

The Bianconeri are reinforcing their squad for the Champions League, so Coach Antonio Conte and director of sport Fabio Paratici are both in Poland and Ukraine to scout new players.

“Rolando’s price-tag is around €15m,” said agent Francesco Nicolato.

“I know that Juventus have been following him for over a year, but if the Bianconeri were seriously interested, then I doubt they’d have problems buying him.”

The Porto star is set to feature in tonight’s Group B game between Germany and Portugal in Lviv.

Conte and Paratici are expected to be in Kharkiv for the Holland-Denmark match earlier this evening, as they will view Robin van Persie.
