Juventus has held a long-standing interest in Udinese midfielder Lazar Samardzic and was expected to make an effort to sign him this summer.

The midfielder has been one of the finest players in Serie A for several seasons, and Juve believes he would do well for them.

However, several other top Serie A clubs are also interested in a move for him, and he is now being tipped to leave Udinese in the coming weeks.

Juve embarked on a major squad rebuild this summer and has signed several midfielders. Despite this, the Bianconeri have not cemented their interest in Samardzic.

Some fans have wondered why Juventus has not been serious about signing him, but he is now likely to move to AC Milan.

A report on Tuttomercatoweb reveals that he is no longer a priority target for Juventus.

The Bianconeri have other targets who are higher on their shopping list than Samardzic.

Juve FC Says

Samardzic is one of the players that can do a fantastic job for us if we add him to our squad.

However, interest from other top Serie A clubs shows that he could be snapped up before we are prepared to add him to our squad.
