Juventus are waiting for Patrice Evra to make a decision about his future at the club amid talks with Crystal Palace, according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport.

The former Manchester United defender, whose present contract with Juventus is set to expire in the summer, has sat out of the Italian champions’ last two Serie A games after the winter break.




The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from Juventus during the ongoing winter transfer window, with Crystal Palace having held talks over signing him, while Valencia are also keen.

Although the Bianconeri are awaiting to hear Evra’s decision, they are already on the lookout for the 35-year-old’s replacement should he leave the club.
 


As a result, Juventus have zeroed in on Sead Kolasinac, whose contract with Schalke is also set to expire at the end of the season.
