Juventus have emerged as new suitors for Benfica centre-back Ezequiel Garay, according to Portuguese daily A Bola.

Garay had been strongly linked with moving to Manchester United over the summer, but surprisingly ended up staying put at the Estadio da Luz for another campaign under Jorge Jesus.

 


However, how long the Argentine will continue in Portugal remains to be seen, with a number of clubs taking a serious glance in his direction.

There has been interest from Barcelona, while now Italian champions Juventus are firmly on the scene.

Benfica will be reluctant to lose Garay midway through the season, but Juventus appear ready to make a lucrative offer to snap up the defender.

The 27-year-old joined the Portuguese giants in 2011, making the move from Spanish outfit Real Madrid,

Garay first landed in Europe in 2005, when swapping Newell's Old Boys for Racing Santander, a club he continued to turn out for until 2009.
