Juventus have drawn up a list of names as they prepare to rebuild their attack in the summer.
The Bianconeri are expected to let David Trezeguet leave the club in June and may even try to sell Amauri after a difficult year in Turin.
The club's directors are also keenly aware that Alessandro Del Piero isn't getting any younger and that he needs supplementing up front.
Tuttosport understands that Sampdoria striker Giampaolo Pazzini is in pole position. The 25-year-old is having another good season with the Blucerchiati, having scored 12 goals in 24 games.
An inquiry has already apparently been made, yielding an interesting answer from Samp's directors.
Beppe Marotta, the Ligurian club's director general, has set a straight asking price of €22m for the Italy international, but would lower the cash fee in a part-exchange deal, involving the likes of Seba Giovinco and Paolo De Ceglie.
Juventus are reluctant to part with two of their youth products and might turn their attention elsewhere. The dream is to sign Wolfsburg's striker Edin Dzeko, although competition is expected to be hot for the Bosnia international.
Cagliari's Alessandro Matri has also been scouted, but it's likely he would play a bit part in Turin, perhaps as an impact substitute. |
