Juventus have taken a new liking for Manchester United players in the recent months. The Bianconeri have been linked with a number of Red Devils stars such as Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, and it seems their interests just don't end there itself.

According to Calciomercato, Juventus are now said to be interested in signing Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian, who arrived at Old Trafford from Everton for a hefty fee, has had a torrid second year following a fine debut season with the club. The 25-year-old has netted only 6 times in 21 appearances for the club across all the competitions and is already being linked with a move out of the club.

Juventus are ready to offer Lukaku an escape route out of the Premier League. They view him as a long-term replacement for 32-year-old forward Mario Mandzukic.

It remains to be seen if United agree to part ways with their striker, should Juve table the right offer for him in January.
