JUVENTUS are interested in signing Michael Olise this summer, according to reports.
The Crystal Palace star was the subject of a bid by Chelsea last year, while Manchester United have shown an interest ahead of the summer window.

Juve, however, believe that they may have found a way to trump their Premier League rivals in the race for Olise's signature.
According to the Telegraph, the Italian giants could offer Matias Soule in part-exchange for Olise.
Soule, 20, has spent this season on loan at Frosinone.
The winger has excelled with the Serie A side, scoring 10 goals in 23 appearances.
Prior to this season he played 21 times for Juventus' first team, having joined from Velez Sarsfield as a teenager.
Olise, meanwhile, has endured an injury-hit season at Selhurst Park.
The French Under-21 international missed the first 11 games of the campaign with a hamstring issue.
He subsequently scored six and assisted a further three goals in 11 games upon his return to action, only to suffer another hamstring injury.
Olise endured the setback 11 minutes into a substitute appearance at Brighton, with his side already trailing 3-0.
Explaining his decision to bring his talisman on, then-boss Roy Hodgson said: "It boils down more to the fact that when there was a chance that he could be available, basically everyone got together and decided perhaps he can be available.
"But we need to start him on the bench, maybe only bring him on in the second half, that's where we all were.
Then I suppose we strode blindly ahead, but it's not easy when you've got a player like Olise on the bench to turn around and say 'by the way you just sit there and watch the game because we don't need you'.
"That's not quite so easy, and there was no indication from us that he was happy to do that, but of course Michael's a quiet guy so that's the other unfortunate part of this whole equation.
"Another player might have come and said 'I don't think it's worth it, I don't think I need to go on, I'd rather have a bit more time' - but we can't expect that of him.
"That's not fair to expect that of him, he's just going along with what he thinks the whole of the club thinks so it was the perfect storm in every respect."
Olise won't be available to new boss OIiver Glasner for a while, having been ruled out for around two months.
Palace drew 1-1 at Everton under caretaker boss Paddy McCarthy on Monday night.
The Eagles currently sit 15th in the Premier League table, five points above the relegation zone.
