Reports in Britain are suggesting that Juventus may beat Rangers in the race to sign Bayern Munich striker Claudio Pizarro.
The Peruvian’s contract with the Bundesliga outfit expires in June and the 28-year-old is set to leave the Allianza Arena on a Bosman after six seasons with the Bavarian outfit.
The Daily Record claims that the player was offered a massive £45,000 a week deal by Rangers after boss Walter Smith spoke to the South American’s agent last week.
However, Juventus are understood to be ready to outbid them by offering £60,000 a week in order to bring Pizarro to the Stadio Olimpico.
The former Werder Bremen man, who would arrive with the added bonus of an Italian passport, has been associated with the Old Lady for the last six months.
Valencia, PSV and Inter are also reportedly keen on the striker which makes a Glasgow switch seem unlikely – even if they are willing to make the Lima-born ace the highest-paid player in their history.

This is absolute madness to pay him 60k per week. He's no better than Iaquinta, at least Iaquinta has some pace.....

Bullshit. The Daily Retard speaks shite all the time and there is no way Rangers can afford to pay anyone £45000 a week. They are buying up shite Scottish players cos that is all they can afford.
I would be very disappointed if we pay Pizzaro £60000 a week. He is an OK striker but I would not see him as a starter here and £60000 is too much for a bench guy..
