Tuttosport understands that were Amauri to leave Turin, Juventus would try to make Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko his replacement.
Dzeko's entourage has apparently contacted the Bianconeri in order to discover whether they would be interested in him next summer.
The 23-year-old Bosnia international burst on to the scene last year when he scored 36 goals in all competitions as Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga for the first time in their history.
He was heavily linked with Milan during the offseason, but Wolfsburg's determination not to sell him spoke volumes and the Rossoneri bought Klaas-Jan Huntelaar instead.
Yesterday Dzeko once again spoke of his desire to join Milan, telling fifa.com that he hopes to sign for the club sometime in the future.
However, according to Tuttosport, this is all smoke and mirrors, as Juventus met with Dzeko's representatives three weeks ago.
The deal hinges on the status of Amauri, who had gone eight months without a goal before finding the net against Fiorentina in October.
That said, Amauri is reportedly attracting interest from a big English club and an offer in excess of £20m would tempt Juve into a sale.
