Ambitious Palermo have offered Alessandro Del Piero the chance to end his Juventus nightmare.
The Italian’s future in Turin has been cast into doubt after his recent relegation to the bench, and a summer exit may be on the cards.
Some of Europe’s biggest clubs have been associated but the Sicilian outfit have dreams of landing the 30-year-old legend.
"I don’t think he will leave Turin but I would love to bring a champion like him to Palermo," President Maurizio Zamparini told the Corriere dello Sport.
"But there have to be the right conditions in place for a player of such calibre to come here. We would need a sponsor to cover his wages."
Meanwhile, the two clubs are expected to finalise a number of transfers at the end of this season.
Juventus are keen on Andrea Barzagli, a defender who has recently broken into the full Italian national squad.
"I know they are following me," stated the former Azzurrini stopper. "This news fills me with honour."
The Old Lady are also known to be keen on Parma’s Cesare Bovo, who is part-owned by both Roma and Palermo.
The Rosaneri, apart from Del Piero, are also eyeing Fabrizio Miccoli. The latter is currently at Fiorentina after the Viola bought a half-share in him from Juve in the summer.
