There are more stories in Italy on Friday which suggest that Juventus are keen on signing Arsenal midfielder Edu.
The South American is a free agent in the summer and that has interested transfer guru Luciano Moggi.
The director general is always on the lookout for Bosman players and Edu’s quality makes him especially attractive.
Inter and Valencia have also been associated but the Brazilian, 28, seems to be in favour of a Turin switch.
"Juventus are a great side and I’m happy to be of interest to them," the central midfielder is quoted as saying.
"I have already spoken to (international teammate) Emerson about it but I’d prefer to keep that conversation private.
"I am certain that I won’t be playing in England next season and I want to continue my career in Europe."
Whispers suggest that Edu would like a contract worth just under £2m a season but Juve are not ready to offer more than £1.4m.
The Bianconeri are also expected to sign Bayern Munich stopper Robert Kovac on a free at the end of the season.

To me, both Edu and Kovac are useless.
That Bayern has lost their CL clash, you can point your finger to Kovac. The poor guy didn't won any air battles with Drogba
