Juventus want to sign Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin in the summer.
And they are willing to offer two players in part exchange.
Bellerin has neem linked with a move away from North London at the end of the season and came close to joining PSG last year. However, they failed to meet the Gunners valuation of the 26-year-old of €30 million (£27 million).
Now Juventus have moved into pole position to sign him , but on order to tempt the Gunners to accept their offer,, they are prepared to offer either Douglas Costa or Adrien Rabiot as part of any deal.
Both players have been linked with a move to the Emirates in the past.
Brazilian winger Costa is currently on loan with Bayern Munich, but has struggled for opportunities during his time in Germany. Central midfielder Rabiot, meanwhile, has been in and out of Andrea Pirlo’s side this season.
