Cristian Chivu could become the latest piece of the Roma jigsaw to leave for arch-rivals Juventus.
Bianconeri general director Luciano Moggi stated over the weekend that a "surprise" signing could be on the way and the Romanian is being linked.
Moggi is in constant contact with the Giallorossi in an attempt to finally agree a fee for Emerson.
Now newspaper reports suggest that the Old Lady of Italian football are also keen on netting Chivu.
The defender, signed last summer from Ajax, had a magnificent debut season under boss Fabio Capello.
Now the latter, who has replaced Marcello Lippi on the Juve bench, would like the stopper at his disposal again.
It would certainly be a massive blow for the Giallorossi to lose Chivu but they do have cover in defence.
They are on the verge of signing both Matteo Ferrari and Philippe Mexes – who are central stoppers.
If they did sell the player then they would also free themselves of his salary which may be as high as £2.5m a season.
If Chivu does move to Turin then he will team up with numerous former Roma colleagues in the shape of Capello, Jonathan Zebina and probably Emerson.
