Celtic could face an even harder battle to keep hold of Odsonne Edouard, with reports claiming Juventus have joined AC Milan in the hunt for the forward.

Calciomercato claims that the Serie A champions have watched the Celtic man, who has also been linked with Milan over the last few days.

It is believed Andrea Pirlo has been impressed with what he has seen from the French under-21 international and that could tempt the Juventus boss into making a move for Edouard.

However, any bid is likely to need to be a big one. The Daily Record have previously claimed that Celtic value Edouard at around the £30m mark after his goalscoring exploits at Parkhead.

Premier League clubs have also cast admiring glances in Edouard’s direction, too. The likes of Aston Villa and Arsenal, both known to have watched the Bhoys forward.

There’s been a lot of noise around Edouard for quite a while now but Juventus are the biggest name of the lot to emerge with an interest in the Celtic man.

If a bid did come and Celtic accepted, it would be a hard move for the Frenchman to turn down, such is the stature of Juve.

A move to the Italian champions would be a once in a lifetime chance and one that, put simply, he wouldn’t be able to turn down.
