Milan’s hopes of keeping Hernan Crespo could be dashed with Chelsea ready to offer the player to Juventus.
The Rossoneri are keen to hold on to the Argentine after a successful 12 month loan stay at the San Siro.
But whispers in the peninsula on Monday are suggesting that Crespo could end up at Italian champions Juventus instead.
Chelsea, the club who still own the South American, are prepared to include the forward in a player plus cash deal for David Trezeguet.
The London club are desperately seeking a new striker and have reportedly made the Frenchman their new priority.
Juventus may consider accepting the proposal given that they would not only net some much needed funds but also a proven striker to replace Trezeguet.
Crespo, who is keen to stay in the country after recently marrying an Italian, has already had substantial success in Italy during spells at Parma, Lazio, Inter and Milan.
Should Crespo join Juventus, or not return to Milan, then the Rossoneri will make an attempt to sign Christian Vieri.
The latter left Inter on Friday after terminating his contract a year early and is available on a free transfer.
Vieri is said to be in favour of an Italian stay in order to remain in the mind of Italy boss Marcello Lippi ahead of the World Cup Finals.
