Juventus are set to make a January move for Benfica captain Luisão, according to reports.

Sport Mediaset claims that the Bianconeri are confident of securing the former Brazil international in a €3 million deal, if Benfica are knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage.

Juventus had initially targeted Luisão in the summer and though reports suggested at the time that he was eager to make the switch, a fee could not be agreed with Benfica.

The Portuguese outfit were believed to want upwards of €4 million for Luisão, but such a fee was deemed too steep by Juventus for a player who turns 34 in February.
