Juventus, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund are all interested in signing Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny for next season, according to Przeglad Sportowy.

The Polish publication reports that the three clubs are monitoring the 26 year old’s situation after it emerged that Roma are not likely to make the keeper’s stay at the Serie A side permanent.

Szczesny has been on loan in Rome for the last two years, and has established himself as the first choice goalkeeper. The Italian club have the option of signing the keeper permanently for €16million, but after spending €8million on Brazilian stopper Alisson last season, they are not prepared to open their chequebook once again.

With a return to Arsenal likely, both Juventus and Napoli are seeking long term replacements for their respective goalkeepers, Gianluigi Buffon and Pepe Reina, while Dortmund are seeking an alternative to Swiss international Roman Burki who has failed to impress since arriving from Freiburg in 2015.
