According to 'CalcioMercato.com', Juventus have joined Roma and Inter Milan in the hunt to bring in Kovacic in the summer transfer window, using their old contacts.
Since reports surfaced in Italy that Monchi had already begun negotiations to bring the Croatian to Roma, the other vying parties have become slightly concerned.
Although he has always maintained his desire to succeed at the Santiago Bernabéu, Kovacic has only played 17 times this season, due to an injury he suffered in Autumn.
He arrived from Inter Milan for €30m, but the midfielder has struggled to find himself a spot in Real Madrid's starting XI, where Casemiro, Kroos and Modric are untouchable.
