Juventus, Fiorentina and Palermo are battling for the signature of former Triestina top scorer Dino Fava.


The hitman topped the Serie B Capocannoniere charts for most of last season with a total twenty-two goals.


This summer he returned to his old club Varese as the Serie C outfit placed a higher bid in a blind auction.


However, as his contract expires next June, Varese hope to sell him for a tidy profit to one of the big clubs.


Juventus are still looking for an understudy to David Trezeguet and seem to have fallen behind Inter in the chase for Bologna’s Julio Cruz.


26-year-old Fava would be willing to sit on the bench and bide his time in the bright lights of Serie A.


The Bianconeri would also clear room for the new arrival by loaning Uruguayan youngster Ruben Olivera to Parma.


But Juve have competition from the two Serie B clubs with the most ready funds at their disposal.


Palermo have snapped up several top flight stars already this summer, including Eugenio Corini and Luca Toni.


Fiorentina have also come forward in the last few days to make their interest in Fava known.
