Juventus have jumped ahead of Milan in the race for Willy Sagnol, but their fans warn Amauri is not worth losing Sebastian Giovinco.
The two Italian giants are accustomed to fighting it out over the transfer market and this summer appears to be a particularly fraught battle.
They are both challenging for the signatures of Palermo striker Amauri and Bayern Munich wing-back Sagnol.
Earlier this week Sagnol confirmed he had been approached by the Rossoneri, but attempted to play down the chances of his departure.
“The Milan directors have been keen to show their interest in me regularly over the last six years,” the 31-year-old told L’Equipe.
“I still have two years of my contract, but I will pay close attention to what happens over the next few days.”
It is now reported in the Corriere dello Sport that Juventus general manager Jean-Claude Blanc met with Sagnol’s agents on Friday.
He had already been close to joining Juve in January 2006, but Bayern renewed his contract just before they lost him on a free transfer.

I dont think Ranieri likes Zebina, and Sagnol would be an upgrade on Grygera. Regardless, we should be aiming higher than a 31 yr old who has already reached his peak.
