It was thought he might have joined Internazionale on Monday but that did not materialise, and while it still might go ahead, Juve's ex-Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira has now hinted that he could join former Premiership rivals Manchester United.
Vieira is anxiously looking for a new club, being determined to leave Juventus following their demotion to Italy's Serie B.
And the 30-year-old France midfielder has now said: "Every player wants to play for a club like Manchester United at the highest level.
"After nine years at Arsenal it might be difficult. But anything can happen in football.
"Now I'm not sure where I'm playing next season, I'm still looking for a new club.
"There might be some sort of conclusion in the next 48 hours and it's a very important decision for me.
"I will not be playing for Juventus since they are going to Serie B."
Vieira's former team-mates, Emerson and Fabio Cannavaro, have already left Juve and teamed up again with coach Fabio Capello at Real Madrid, while Gianluca Zambrotta and Lilian Thuram have left the Old Lady for Barcelona.
Inter were understood to be preparing a package that matches what Vieira is on with Juve, but the deal appears to have stalled.
