Milan are being associated with a surprising move for Juventus and France stopper Lilian Thuram.

The defender may be coming towards the end of his Turin stint if they are demoted to Serie B for sporting fraud this summer.

Reports in the peninsula suggest that the Rossoneri are ready to profit from what would be a mass exodus of footballing talent by snapping up the 34-year-old.

Boss Carlo Ancelotti is a massive admirer of the veteran who he did have at his disposal while in charge of Parma.

It’s understood that the two clubs could include Christian Abbiati as part of any proposed transfer deal.

The goalkeeper spent last term on loan at the Stadio Delle Alpi and his agent has recently revealed that he would be ready to remain on a permanent basis.

Thuram, also recently linked with Lyon and Monaco, has so far declined to answer any questions on his future at Juventus.

When asked during a Germany 2006 media conference, he simply stated: “Juventus? Juventus who?”

Milan are looking for a new centre-back after they lost Dutchman Jaap Stam who has joined Ajax on a two-year deal.

They should go after a younger centre-back than Thuram!
