According to Tutto Mercato, Juventus must pay up if they want Bruno Alves.
Leaving Ibrox after just a solitary season in the summer, the Portuguese headed for Serie A, with Parma Calcio.
The club captaincy seems to have breathed new life into the 37 year-old, who looked past his best during his brief stint in Scotland.
Despite only just gaining promotion to the top tier, Parma sit in a respectable 12th position. That’s despite a weekend defeat to lowly SPAL.
Alves has two goals and four clean sheets in 20 league appearances so far. That’s more outings than he managed in the entirety of last season.

Consequently, it’s suggested that Italian champions, Juventus, are interested in his services.
Centre-back, Medhi Benatia, has left the Old Lady to join Qatari club Al-Duhail.
His departure has left Juve short of defensive cover, though.
Last week, Italian Sky Sport journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, reported that Alves was one of a number of potential replacements.
Now, Tutto Mercato report that Juve would need to pay Parma 1.5 million euros to secure his services.
Should he make the switch to Turin, he would be playing alongside his close friend, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The pair have a remarkable 250 Portugal caps between them.
It would complete an amazing turnaround, after failing to make his mark at Rangers.
