Juventus have held talks with Manchester United over wing ace Cristiano Ronaldo.
La Stampa says Juve representatives spoke with United officials on Friday about Ronaldo's situation and learned that despite the Portuguese being contracted until 2010, he is not untouchable.
Like with Barcelona last week when United demanded Xavi be included in any offer, Juve were told a deal would be considered if they were willing to offer goalkeeper Gigi Buffon in exchange.
The stumbling block is the valuation of the two players. United insist Juve would have to include a major cash component because of Ronaldo's age and potential, while the Italian giants, for now, would be happier with a straight swap.
