Juventus are weighing up a January bid for Valencia winger Joaquin. Juve have been following the Spain international since the days of Fabio Capello and management are convinced the time is right to pounce.

Joaquin is re-establishing himself at Valencia under coach Unai Emery this season, but his transfer price has dropped dramatically to around £8 million.

Juve coach Claudio Ranieri is keen to find more attacking width and has approved a move for the ex-Real Betis star.
