# Juventus join United in Wan-Bissaka pursuit

Juventus are thought to be keen on rivalling Manchester United in the race to land Crystal Palace star Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer, according to Italian outlet Corriere Torino, relayed in an article by [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/crystal-palace-starlet-caught-dofs-attention-club-chief-followed-interest/).

The report claims that new Juve boss, Maurizio Sarri, has identified Wan-Bissaka as a possible replacement for Joao Cancelo, who has been heavily linked with a move away from Turin this summer.

The right-back, who is currently away with England at the Under-21 European Championships, has been heavily tipped to depart Selhurst Park following his impressive individual campaign under Roy Hodgson.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are reportedly edging closer to signing the highly-rated youngster after[agreeing a £55m fee](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2019/06/19/manchester-united-agree-deal-to-sign-wan-bissaka/) with the Eagles for the player.

However, the latest reports are predicting that the Italian giants may spring a surprise move for Wan-Bissaka, with Juventus’ sporting director, Fabio Paratici, tracking the youngster in previous months.

Palace fans will be hoping that the two interested parties are involved in a lengthy bidding war for the youngster if they do end up selling, which would then provide Hodgson with plenty of funds to bring in fresh faces for the new campaign.
