Juve linked with Gallas talks
By Patrick Haond - Created on 14 Mar 2006
The French international has been linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge despite his recent insistence that he has come to terms with constantly switching positions under Jose Mourinho.
The Bianconeri admitted their interest in the Blues star back in January and now But! reports that the Serie A outfit watched Gallas very closely in Chelsea's European exit at the hands of Barcelona.
Fabio Capello's side are looking for defensive reinforcements and want Gallas to provide a further option in the centre along with Fabio Cannavaro and Lilian Thuram.
Juve reputedly had brief talks with Gallas after the defeat in Spain and with the star becoming a free agent in 2007 a fee of €10 million (£6.9 million) has been mooted.
Italian rivals Milan are also reported to be interested in securing Gallas, although he plays a key role across the defence for Chelsea and Mourinho would be loathe to see him depart.
Meanwhile, Juventus seem likely to be parting company with French right-back Jonathan Zebina come the summer.
The former Roma man was on the brink of a move to Tottenham in January before Capello decided to retain his defender, but White Hart Lane still remains a possible destination for the 27-year-old.
