Juventus are reportedly eyeing a triple swoop on Manchester United with the Italian champions 'considering moves for David de Gea, Eric Bailly and Nemanja Matic' next summer.
The Turin-based side have history of targeting Premier League players near the end of their contracts having picked up Aaron Ramsey from Arsenal for free this summer.
But according to Gazzetta Dello Sport, attention will turn to United and whether they can steal a march on rivals with players such as De Gea free to discuss with clubs outside the Premier League as early as January.
De Gea remains United's No 1, despite a difficult start to the new season. But there is growing belief from rivals that the Spaniard may depart come next summer given he is yet to sign a new long-term deal.
Bailly picked up a serious injury in pre-season against Tottenham and has been out recovering.
But following the arrival of England international Harry Maguire - and the belief that Axel Tuanzebe can become a regular in years to come - Bailly could find first-team opportunities limited on his return.

The trio can't do better than leave as earlier as possible if they ever think of lifting any trophy. Man Utd will spend enough if not many seasons before lifting one, if they continue undermining players (like Rom and Alexis recently).
