Juventus will reportedly send scouts to watch Benfica defender Ruben Dias this Saturday.

Tuttosport say that Dias has moved ahead of Ajax sensation Matthijs de Ligt as Juve’s prime defensive target this summer.

The paper claims that sporting director Fabio Paratici will send talent-spotters to Estadio do Dragao, where Benfica face rivals Porto this weekend.

It would be the second time the Old Lady have watched Dias up close, having also sent scouts to keep an eye on the 21-year-old at San Siro in November.

On that occasion he was part of a Portugal defence that held Italy to a goalless draw in the Nations League.
