Juventus are reportedly preparing an offer to try and tempt Manchester United to sell Nemanja Vidic in January.

Currently the English side’s captain is out of contract at the end of the current season and from the turn of the year is free to talk to interested parties.

The Bianconeri are suggested in early reports as one of those clubs tracking the 31-year-old, but the suggestion is that they are prepared to try and pick up the player sooner than next summer.

The Sun are running the line this week that Juve are readying a bid of around £8m, €9.5m, to pick up the Serb this January.
