Juventus have been linked with two new names as they search for another defender for the news season.

Bianconeri coach Antonio Conte is on the look out for a new centre-back to reinforce his squad for another assault on the Champions League and the club have been previously paired with Andrea Ranocchia and Arsenal’s Thomas Vermaelen.

However, Tuttosport are reporting that general director Beppe Marotta has cast his eye over Eliaquim Mangala and Aymen Abdennour.

Mangala, 22, is currently with Portuguese side Porto and has attracted interest from big spenders Monaco, while Abdennour, 24, currently plies his trade in Ligue 1 with Toulouse and may be available for €4 million.
