Juventus scouts are closely monitoring 21-year-old Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka.
The young talent has been a long-standing target for the Bianconeri and reports in Italy have previously suggested that Juve are keeping a close eye on the players situation.
His current contract with Schalke, which ends in 2018, is yet to be renewed and Tuttosport, La Repubblica and others report that Juve are very keen on the player.
Calciomercato journalist Luca Momoli confirmed the same in an interview with Radio VS, suggesting that Juve have a very real interest in the player:

If this guy is good then please offer Lemina as a makeweight! Sorry to Mario L fans but after a season with us I am yet to see the point he serves other than a squad member. Not very good in any one position, and did not grasp the opportunity he had this season with a run of poor performances. He needed to show progression, and I don’t see any.
Feel free to tell me I am wrong about him.
So far I would agree, havent seen anything yet that makes me see Lemina as a key player.
I would give him some time though, no reason to jump ship and sell him off.
I dont know this dude at all, his name is vaguely familiar but that is all, good that Juve is actively scouting and picking targets!
I’ve seen this guy play, nothing more than a fringe player. We need draxler instead, even with the change of scenery he has world class potential.
Lol, he’s one of Schalke’s most important players and has a much higher ceiling than Draxler
