Juventus appear unlikely to force through a move to sign Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi before the transfer window shuts.
The Serie A club are keen to add a further centre-back to their squad after being dealt a massive injury blow last week when defensive lynchpin Giorgio Chiellini suffered a serious knee injury.
Chiellini needs surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and surgery to correct it could mean Juventus being without him until February.
