Juve back on Gallas trail
Juventus have refocused their efforts on luring Chelsea defender William Gallas to the Stadio Delle Alpi, according to reports in Italy.
Having won the battle to sign Parma midfielder Marco Marchionni, Juve are now looking to strengthen a defence which, despite being the best in the country, lacks strength in depth.
Gallas has been a Bianconeri target for some time and - after missing out on Willy Sagnol - the French defender’s ability to play at both full-back and centre-half is of even greater interest to the Italian champions.
The 28-year-old has been a first-team regular under José Mourinho, despite intense competition for places at Stamford Bridge from the likes of £19.85m signing Ricardo Carvalho, but is thought to be in favour of a move to Italy.
It would cost approximately £1.4m to free the France international from his current deal, which expires in 2007, but further financial penance may have to be paid given Chelsea’s unhappiness with Juve over their controversial signing of Adrian Mutu.
