According to reports in Italy, Juventus are closing in on the free transfer signing of veteran Bologna goalkeeper Francesco Antonioli.
The Bianconeri are looking for a new shot-stopper to act as a deputy for Gianluigi Buffon, as current number two Emanuele Belardi did not impress when he was called into action last term.
A host of goalkeepers, including Mark Schwarzer and Carlo Cudicini have both been heavily linked recently, but the former has transferred to Fulham, while the latter wants first team football.
Sources in Italy are claiming that Juve are closing in on Bologna goalkeeper Antonioli, who is available on a free transfer as his contract has expired.
Antonioli, who will turn 39 in September, has had a long career already spanning 22 years, and has played for Milan, Roma and Sampdoria.
The Monza-born custodian travelled to Euro 2000 with the Italy national team, however he never did play for his country. His most prized moment came in 2001 when he won the Scudetto with Roma
