La Stampa says Juve are in talks about bringing Veiga back to Turin for the new Serie A season.

However, Villarreal are also interested in the defender, though negotiations are yet to 'take off'. Veiga, meanwhile, has let Juve know he wants to return via his agent.

Meanwhile, Juve GM Damien Comolli is also considering alternatives, which include Toulouse defender Charlie Cresswell.

The former Leeds United prospect, 23, is also on the radars of Como and Atalanta in Italy.

But Juve could have an advantage with Comolli a former Toulouse sports director.
