Real Madrid fullback Michel Salgado remains in Juventus sights.
It's emerged that Real offered Salgado to Juve on August 23 as they prepared to welcome Cicinho from Sao Paulo. But the Brazilian's failure to secure his Italian passport before the close of the summer market scuppered the deal.
Juve are maintaining contact with Real leading up to the January transfer window, with Cicinho due in Madrid over Christmas.
Juve director general is eyeing Salgado as injury concerns persist over Lilian Thuram, Gianluca Pessotto, Jonathan Zebina and Alessio Birindelli.
