The Premier League club's board, who have already secured the services of Wayne Bridge since the transfer window opened, have now set their sights on the 31-year-old Frenchman, goal.com reports.
Trezeguet's current contract runs until 2011, but having only just returned to training following surgery in September he has fallen down the pecking order at the Serie A club.
Despite making good progress he will struggle to win back his place, with the likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Amauri, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Sebastian Giovinco to contend with. Moreover the reported £6m-a-season pay package may also play a part in luring him away.
Trezeguet had operations on both knees after suffering a serious tendon injury in the first match of this season's Champions League. He had hoped to return to action at the start of the new year but has been told he must wait for an all-clear from his surgeon later this month.
Regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, Trezeguet signed for Juventus in 2000 and has since averaged a goal every other game. He played for the French senior team for a decade before announcing his international retirement in July last year.

Fuck Man City. Why dont they just ficking leave our players alone.
First Buffon, now Trezeguet. Why dont they try to buy Del Piero while they are at it. Stupid cunts, they dont know shit about loyality and respect cause if they did they wouldnt even consider buying theese players. I am getting pretty agrivated!!

Ok, then lets sell Trezeguet and Buffon, we will get 70 mil. We will buy Given and Owen for lets say 15mil maybe?? So after we buy them Owen will play for 4 games, score 2 goals and on the fifth game his knee will get fucked up. And as for Given?? Shiiiiit, i can see a thread right now saying "Is Given the biggest mistake we made, bigger than Almiron even??"
Well to an extent Gigi has been replaced as well.Manninger has really exceeded expectations but it doesnt mean Juventus should sell players that have broken all sorts of records & stuck with the club during serie b.
Thats just my take on it,i just prefer it if Trez retires at Juventus.
Buffon is expected to be Juventus #1 for at least 8-10 more seasons at the high level. I don't think Manny would manage anything close to that level for that long.
