Dubravka has starred for Newcastle since joining the club in January.
Italian outlet CalcioMercato claim Juventus have identified Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka as a man they could sign in the January transfer window to act as back-up to Wojciech Szczesny.
The 29-year-old joined Newcastle in January 2018 on loan from Slavia Prague, and instantly endeared himself to the St, James’ Park faithful after a man-of-the-match display against Manchester United.
The Slovakia international made safe after save on his debut and helped the Toon earn a 1-0 win over United on Tyneside, thanks to Matt Ritchie’s second-half strike.
Fast forward almost a year, and Dubravka continues to be Newcastle’s number one stopper and certainly one of the first names on the team sheet. In a side near the relegation zone, he has kept an impressive eight clean sheets in 26 outings.
Conceding only 30 goals in those matches, it is clear to see that Newcastle picked up a bargain when they landed the ex-MSK Zilina stopper for just £4million (The Sun) in the summer on a permanent basis.
If Juve were to sign the stopper, it is expected that they would have to pay a much bigger fee for his services, with his contract at Newcastle set to expire in the summer of 2022.
Juve want the goalkeeper to act as back-up to ex-Arsenal star Szczesny, with Mattia Perin currently acting as cover for the Poland international. Juve have been in sensational form this season, winning 17 of their 19 games. They lost to United in the Champions League, and drew with Genoa.
