"?Juventus and AC Milan look set to battle it out for Atletico Madrid's reliable central defender Diego Godin, according to "?reports in Italy.
The 30-year-old has already been linked with a move to Milan over the summer, but a bid was delayed due to their ongoing takeover by a Chinese consortium.
But now, "?Tuttosport claim that Serie A champions Juventus are planning a large bid for the defender next summer.
This could tie in with "?speculation linking Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci with a move away from Turin, as Chelsea are reportedly keen.
The Old Lady are also seeking a replacement for veteran defender Andrea Barzagli, who will turn 36 in May.
But both sides will face fierce competition for Godin, with a number of top European clubs potentially interested in the Uruguay international.
