Juventus are being linked with a shock free transfer swoop for Fiorentina defender Tomas Ujfalusi.
The 29-year-old’s contract at the Stadio Artemio Franchi expires this summer and the Czech international has refused to sign a new deal.
Spanish side Sevilla were expected to pounce for Ujfalusi after expressing an interest several months ago, but negotiations hit a brick wall.
Atletico Madrid have been tipped to take advantage of the situation, but now there are suggestions that Ufo has already made a verbal agreement with Juve.
The Bianconeri are looking to strengthen their squad in pre-season in preparation for a title challenge next term and have already added Swedish international Olof Mellberg to the back line.
But the shopping spree isn't likely to end there and Ujfalusi would be an equally valuable and economical recruit.
Ujfalusi has 64 international caps to his name and has made more than 100 outings in the Fiorentina shirt since arriving from Hamburg in 2004.

Hopefully it's as a cb. Chiellini/Legro/Mellberg/Ujfalusi is good cover.
