Not content with the signing of Kapo yesterday the Turin giants are expected to return to Auxere, as they look to sort out their ageing defence. And they see the 21 year old Mexes as the ideal starting point.

Their is a possibility that Mexes has a deal with the Auxere which will allow him to leave at the end of the season, although there is nothing offical.

But the player who has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United and Roma, seams commited to leaving, and Juventus intend to make sure he moves to them.

Their defence has struggled at times this season, and is in need of some youth and in Mexes The Bianconeri believe they have found it.

While they still maintain a slight interest in attracting Jaap Stam, it is thought that they are some way behind Inter in the race for his signature.
