Juventus are reportedly keen to sign Manchester United forward Anthony Martial during this summer's transfer window.
The 27-year-old has struggled with a number of fitness problems during the 2022-23 campaign, being restricted to just 17 appearances in all competitions.
Martial has recovered from a hip issue to feature in Man United's last three Premier League matches, though, and he scored off the bench against Everton on Saturday afternoon.
The France international's output this season has been strong despite his fitness issues, finding the back of the net on seven occasions in all competitions, in addition to providing two assists.
However, there is currently widespread speculation surrounding Martial's future, with the striker potentially being moved on during this summer's transfer window.

Man United will move for a new centre-forward in the upcoming market, with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane the team's leading target, while Napoli's Victor Osimhen is also thought to be of interest.
Inter Milan have recently been credited with an interest in Martial, but according to Calciomercato, Juventus are also keeping a close eye on the developments.
The report claims that Man United could be willing to let Martial leave on a free transfer this summer in order to remove his wages from the budget.
Juventus are thought to value the Frenchman as a possible replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, with the Serbian currently being linked with a move away from the Turin giants this summer.

The Old Lady are facing a battle to qualify for the 2023-24 Champions League, currently sitting down in seventh position in the Serie A table, eight points behind fourth-placed AC Milan.
Martial made the move to Man United from Monaco in 2015, and the forward has represented the Red Devils on 286 occasions in all competitions, contributing 86 goals and 52 assists in the process.
The Frenchman started this season as his side's number one striker, but he has found it difficult to put together a consistent run of form due to his fitness problems.
Martial missed the start of the campaign with a hamstring issue, while he has since suffered Achilles, back, muscular and hip problems.
However, having come through unscathed against Everton on Saturday, the forward should again be available for Ten Hag's side in Thursday's Europa League quarter-final first leg with Sevilla.
