The Turin side is lining up a summer swoop for Barcelona’s want-away starlet Javier Saviola.
Juventus have long been interested in the 22-year-old Argentine and were heavily involved in negotiations before he eventually chose Barca.
However, he has struggled to settle in and recent disagreements with Coach Frank Rijkaard have seemingly spelled the end for his time at the Nou Camp.
Newspapers in his homeland maintain that Barcelona have begun offering Saviola’s services to a number of top European clubs for next season.
He was also linked to Inter and Milan before Christmas, but it seems that Juventus transfer guru Luciano Moggi is working to seal off any competition.
Trade links between the two clubs are already strong thanks to Edgar Davids’ January move to Barca and Moggi hopes to capitalise on that rapport as soon as possible.
The creative midfielder would bring that extra spark of vision to the Bianconeri side that has been somewhat lacking in recent years.
It is instead claimed that Milan will turn their attention towards Tottenham Hotspur enigma Helder Postiga.
The Portuguese international would join his fellow countryman Manuel Rui Costa at the San Siro in a deal worth £6m.
