Serie A side Juventus are in touch with Feyenoord for David Hancko.

According to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have established formal contacts with Feyenoord to explore a possible transfer for David Hancko.

After the injuries to Juan Cabal and Gleison Bremer, the Bianconeri face a defensive crisis and they must land a new addition to the squad to compete on the highest level. Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli feels that Hancko could be an economical solution and one that can be brought in without much competition.

Juventus hope to sell either Nicolo Fagioli, who is attracting interest from Marseille and the Premier League or Douglas Luiz in the January transfer window to fund the arrival of the Slovak defender.

The Old Lady maintain a good association with Feyenoord following the summer loan of defender Facundo Gonzalez. Juventus aim to use this relationship to bring Hancko to the club at a lower transfer fee.
