Scudetto winners Juventus will struggle to convince Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze to join them this summer, Calciomercato.it has reported.
The Italian giants have identified the German as a target to strengthen the squad ahead of next season but they will face competition.
Reports have suggested that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp would be delighted to have the youngster back in the squad, having managed him at Borussia Dortmund in Germany.
But it seems that Chelsea are strong favourites to sign the 23-year-old as they intend to make a £35million offer.
