Juve reportedly want the Newcastle ace as back-up to Wojciech Szczesny.

Martin Dubravka has been reportedly added to Juventus’ January wish list as the Italian champions look to add cover for current number one Wojciech Szczesny – and Newcastle United fans have reacted on Twitter.

Italian outlet CalcioMercato claim the 29-year-old has interested Massimiliano Allegri’s side ahead of the January transfer window, with doubts over the future of current understudy Mattia Perin.

Dubravka has been in decent form for The Toon, despite the club struggling near the Premier League relegation zone. He has helped his side keep four clean sheets in 14 league games, conceding only 19 goals.

Signed by Newcastle for a bargain £4million in the summer from Slavia Prague, the Slovakia international has become one of the first names on the team sheet and sits ahead of Rob Elliot, Freddie Woodman and Karl Darlow in the pecking order.

A move to Juventus will surely be difficult to turn down for Dubravka, but he has a decision to weigh up. Indeed, would he prefer warming the bench under Allegri or should he remain first choice at Newcastle?

Newcastle fans reacted to the reported interest on Twitter, with many fans questioning why he would leave to join Juve rather than remain first choice at St. James’ Park.
