Juventus rep in Brazil for talks over Flamengo defender Ortiz

Tuttosport says Juve see Ortiz as potential cover for Gleison Bremer after his knee surgery.

The 28 year-old left RB Bragantino for Flamengo earlier this year and holds Italian citizenship.

Juve chief Cristiano Giuntoli has posted a representative to watch Ortiz this week  and make contact with Fla.

Fla paid €7m to sign Ortiz and will insist on making a profit should Giuntoli firm up Juve's interest.
