Juventus are attempting to hijack a transfer and get one over a Premier League club this summer.

The Italian giants are aiming to sneak ahead of Brighton for a talented defender.

Per The Sun, Juve are ready to put in a bid for Boca Juniors left-back Valentin Barco.

The 19-year-old, who is also linked to Manchester City, is available for £9 million.

While Brighton are also eager to complete his signature, they have offered a slightly lower fee.

Juventus have been alerted to this delay in the transfer, which has led to them putting in a bid.
