Rossi between Juve and Man Utd
Juventus face competition from Manchester United if they want to sign Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi this summer.
The Bianconeri want Rossi to rejuvenate their ageing attack next season.
He caught their eye playing for Italy at the Confederations Cup where he scored two goals.
The 22-year-old is currently locked in contract talks with Villarreal, negotiating a renewal.
However, El Submarino Amarillo would be open to offers worth between £20m and £25m.
Earlier this week, Rossi said he would like to return to Italy.
He had two spells at Parma, one as a youth team player between 2000 and 2004 and another on loan in 2007.
Sandwiched between his two stints at Parma was a move to Manchester United.
The English champions were the ones who sold Rossi to Villarreal and apparently have first option on him should he become available again.
With £80m to spend, Sir Alex Ferguson could yet choose to bring Rossi back to Old Trafford.
Juventus are at another disadvantage when it comes to signing Rossi because he is also a Milan fan.

Rossi seems very unlikely now.
But if he does come to Juve, I don't see how he'll really cause Giovinco any competition or why he won't fit in our formation.
First of all, playing a formation consisting of both Amauri and Trez just would mean we would lack some much needed ceativity upfront. Trez and Amauri are both finishers, they aren't the type of players that would drop back and create something for their teammates. Right now, only Del piero offers us that and now at the age of 34 his lack of presence upfront will be sorely missed.
That's where Rossi comes in, he can at least partially close that monumental gap upfront. Del piero won't be playing regularly because of his age and personally, I don't like the prospect of having different pairings consisting of basically the same player, Amauri, Trez, and Iaquinta.
He doesn't even play in Giovinco's position so I don't see how his arrival would imply we have forgotten about Giovinco. That's just irrelevant.
