--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus will sell David Trezeguet next summer and replace him with a young Egyptian striker, according to reports.
Cairo based news medium Hazememam.com claims that Juve transfer guru Luciano Moggi has confirmed that Ahmed ‘Mido’ Hossam will be on his way to Turin.
"We are looking at Mido to take Trezeguet’s place who will join either Arsenal or Real Madrid," Moggi was quoted as saying.
Mido is just 19-years-old and currently stars for Dutch giants Ajax.
The striker started his career with Zamalek for whom he scored four goals in five games before moving to Belgian side Gent.
He quickly moved to the Netherlands and has already impressed at international level with two goals in three games.
Mido is rated for his heading ability and has an asking price of around £13m.
Meanwhile, Juventus may lose out to Real Madrid in the chase for Mexican stopper Rafael Marquez.
The international, one of the stars at the World Cup, has been linked with the Bianconeri but admits he would love a move to Spain.
"It would be a dream come true for any player to sign for Real Madrid," he told Radio Marca.
"There has already been talk about my possible move in the past and I am just hoping that there is some concrete interest."
The Monaco man is valued at around £15m.
