JUVENTUS have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race for Renato Sanches.
The Bayern Munich midfielder made just six starts during his first season under Carlo Ancelotti and could be set for a shock exit.
Man United are said to be interested after missing out on Sanches last summer and could return with a new bid.
But Corriere dello Sport claims Juventus are keen on bringing the Portuguese youngster to Turin as they look to become one of Europe’s dominant forces.
The Italians are in the Champions League final for the second time in three years and have recently splashed out on Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado.

A permanent deal for Bayern defender Medhi Benatia has also been completed but they could now be set to raid the Germans for a second time.
It’s also believed Juventus want Bayern winger Douglas Costa, another good player who has suffered from a lack of playing time in Bavaria.

And there’s every chance Ancelotti could let Sanches and Costa go, with replacements for both already lined up.
Schalke’s Leon Goretzka has been identified as the man to take over from Xabi Alonso in central midfield, with Arsenal ace Alexis Sanchez wanted to cut inside from the left flank.
