Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly interested in former Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley.
The Dane joined Brighton and Hove Albion from the Parkhead club in a deal reported to be worth £25 million, with potential add-ons potentially increasing the total to £30m, last summer.
Moments into his debut for the English Premier League outfit, however, the 24-year-old was stretchered off.

O'Riley went on to make 23 appearances during his first year on the south coast, although he could be on the move this summer.
Indeed, according to Sky Sports Italy, Juventus are interested in O'Riley, although first, they must focus on departures and clearing their decks.

O'Riley played 124 times for Celtic during a successful two-and-a-half-year stint at the club.
“Hey Celts,” he wrote on Instagram shortly after his departure to Brighton.
“This isn’t an easy message to write but I just wanted to express how grateful I am to have been able to represent this special football club.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to be in an environment and team full of great people. All my teammates and the staff made it easy for me to settle in right from day one and feel part of the family.
“The joy I have experienced when wearing the badge and playing in front of you guys is one like no other.
“Every single game was an absolute privilege to be a part of and I’m thankful I got to be at the club during a successful period.
“When they say it’s a club like no other it truly is. You guys are one of a kind and it is a credit to all of you for providing such an amazing atmosphere week in week out.
“Much love, Matty.”
