The Bianconeri have long been considered the main suitors for the Danish centre-back, and they could be ready to finally make their move.
Juventus are stepping up their interest in Palermo defender Simon Kjaer, according to Tuttosport. The report suggests that Juve directors are keeping their eyes locked on the Danish stopper. Kjaer has been making rapid progress in Sicily, and he is being tipped to join the Turin-based side.
Signing him will be an awkward task as Palermo have offered the 20-year-old a four-year contract worth €700,000-per-season. Furthermore, a €12 million buy-out clause has been inserted in the deal. Voices in Turin claim the Old Lady will attempt to entice the Rosanero into a deal by offering cash plus a player, with Paolo De Ceglie and Sebastian Giovinco touted to make a move south.
Juve play Palermo this weekend, allowing the club to take a closer look at the promising youngster. Kjaer should play after recovering from a muscular strain sustained against Lazio last week. Despite the report, Juventus have not confirmed any plans to move for the youngster.
