River Plate are keen to agree terms with Juventus in a bid to complete the signing of Marcelo Salas.
The Chilean international is currently on loan with the Argentine side and is set to return to Turin in the summer.
However, the South American outfit are hoping to keep ‘El Matador’ once his loan spell expires.
"Our idea is that he could remain," River Plate President Mario Israel is quoted as saying. "I’ll look to take advantage of our good relationship with Juve in order to do that."
Salas has recently returned to action in Argentina after a two-month injury lay-off by scoring on Sunday.
The 30-year-old doesn’t seem to figure in Juve’s plans anymore seeing as their forward options now include David Trezeguet, Alex Del Piero, Marco Di Vaio and Fabrizio Miccoli.
The Bianconeri signed Salas in 2001 for £12m from Lazio. However, his maiden Turin term saw him rupture knee ligaments that severely affected his Juve career.
Salas is currently in his second spell with River after two splendid seasons there in the 1990s, where he scored 24 goals in 53 League games.

The sooner the better I would say. If they want him soo badly, maybe we should demand someone in exchange :devil:
