Juventus risk missing out on Leonardo Bonucci as Inter are ready to compete for the Italy international's signature, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Bonucci is co-owned by Genoa and Bari who is being valued at around €15m.
Inter President Massimo Moratti had lunch with his counterpart at Genoa Enrico Preziosi yesterday to discuss football matters.
The Nerazzurri have apparently already done a deal with Genoa for Andrea Ranocchia, who spent last season playing alongside Bonucci at Bari.
However, Inter are now focusing on bringing Bonucci back, which is an incredible volte-face as they only sold him to Genoa and Bari last summer.
Juventus reportedly already have a deal in principle with Genoa to buy their share of Bonucci's contract.
The Bianconeri have agreed to let Domenico Criscito move to Marassi on a permanent basis and have renewed Raffaele Palladino's co-ownership deal, so if Genoa pull out it will be costly for them.
However, such is Preziosi's relationship with Moratti that it wouldn't be a complete surprise if they came to some sort of arrangement.[/FONT]
