Agent claims Old Lady are favourites to land Brazilian striker

Serie A giants Juventus have emerged as hot favourites to snap up Brazilian striker Leandro Damiao, according to the player's agent. The 22-year-old Internacional forward has been linked with a number of high profile European clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid. But his agent, Vinicius Prates, claims a move to Turin is his likely destination this summer. "Leandro really likes Juventus, he wants to play in the Bianconeri shirt because they are one of the best teams in the world. Juventus are our first choice," Prates told TuttoMercatoWeb. "Leandro is a valuable player, he has a lot of eyes on him, from all over Europe. "I had contact with (Fabio) Paratici and (Giuseppe) Marotta last year and I know that compared to the directors of Real (Madrid), Paratici and Marotta are better, so I would say that Leandro prefers Juventus to Real Madrid."
