John Elkann admitted French striker David Trezeguet could leave Juventus to join Barcelona this summer.
Elkann, nephew of former Juventus owner Gianni Agnelli, has now been proclaimed new President of Ifil, the company which backs up the Old Lady financially.
“Will Trezeguet leave Juventus? You should go and ask Barcelona,” confessed Elkann.
His statement confirmed the rumours regarding the striker, who has been linked to the Spanish giants for a long time.
The French bomber is Claudio Ranieri's first choice in attack and, despite the capture of Brazilian ace Amauri, is still regarded as the Bianconeri's main centre-forward.
Trezeguet scored 20 goals for the Old Lady this season but Juve sporting director Alessio Secco could decide to cash in on the 31-year-old.
The Turin giants are planning to spend big on other areas of their team this summer and could use the proposed fee of £20m to finance their bid for Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.
Furthermore, Alessandro Del Piero and Amauri could form a good partnership up front, so the Piemontesi would not be too worried to see Trezeguet go.
However, the negotiations are still at an early stage and is remains to be seen whether an agreement between the two clubs will be found.
