Italian Serie A giants Juventus are keen to persuade West Ham United target William Carvalho to move to Italy and will keep a watchful eye on the midfielder when the two clubs meet in the UEFA Champions League tonight, according to a report on Bleacher Report.
The central midfielder has a release clause of £35.5m in his current contract and, according to Calciomercato, Juventus will watch the player closely to decide whether to make a move for him in January or the summer.
Premier League side Liverpool are also said to be interested in Carvalho but Juventus are keen to strengthen their midfield department.
The 25-year-old Portuguese has one assist in the Portuguese top flight this season and has more than two and a half years left on his contract so Sporting are in no rush to sell him.
West Ham made an offer to secure his signature last summer but their offer of £25m was deemed as too less by the Portuguese side.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is a huge fan of Carvalho and to see Juventus and Liverpool register interest will worry him as he considers making another move for the midfield general.
Carvalho also played a key role in helping Portugal qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
