According to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are firm fans of Lamela and have now identified him as a potential summer recruit after the door on snapping him up this month was slammed shut.
Lamela joined Tottenham last summer from Roma, earmarked as a replacement for Gareth Bale, who signed for Real Madrid.
