Juventus are willing to listen to offers for out of favour striker Duscan Vlahovic in what remains of the January transfer window.
The Serbia international joined the Turin giants three years ago in a controversial move from Fiorentina.
Arsenal had hoped to persuade the 24-year-old to join them and boos their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, but Vlahovic spurned Mikel Arteta’s advances and opted to remain in Italy.
With 40 Serie A goals in 90 appearances, Vlahovic has produced a decent return on the £60 million the Old Lady shelled out to sign him.
The appointment of Thiago Motta in the summer has, however, coincided with Vlahovic falling down the pecking order.
Although the striker has scored 12 times in 23 appearances in all competitions, he is no longer an automatic starter.
Moreover, no progress has been made in talks over a new contract and as a result the Serie A giants could allow Vlahovic to leave before the window closes.

According to Sky Italy, Juve are in the running to sign Randal Kolo who has been deemed surplus to requirements by Paris Saint-Germain.
Gazzetta, meanwhile, claim Juventus are ready to part with Vlahovic should a club table an offer that matches their valuation.
Arsenal are again desperate to strengthen their forward line this month, particularly in light of the season ending injury sustained by Gabriel Jesus.
‘[It’s] not looking good at all, but we need to review with the specialist and will have more information this afternoon,’ said Arteta when asked about Jesus’s injury ahead of tomorrow’s north London derby.
‘I don’t want to confirm anything until we have the final report this afternoon. We were every worried straight after the game and we are very worried today.’
On whether Arsenal plan to make any further additions to the squad to compensate for the latest injury setback, Arteta added: ‘My answer doesn’t change.
‘We are actively looking into the market to improve the squad. We always have been. It would be naïve not too. We are looking and we are trying, so let’s see what we can do.
‘To recruit a player there are three parties who have to agree to that. The fact I love my players doesn’t mean we can’t think about improving.
‘We do daily and when the market comes around we have to make sure we have the best resources and capacity to compete the way that we want to.’
