Juventus on Drenthe trail
Dutch midfielder Royston Drenthe could be the successor to Pavel Nedved at Juventus, according to the latest rumours.
Czech legend Nedved is expected to hang his boots up at the end of the current campaign, leaving the Old Lady with the tough task of finding a new left winger.
The Bianconeri have had a while to prepare for Nedved's retirement, as he had seemed set to quit football after the 2006 World Cup and again last summer.
And according to a variety of newspapers, the Juve directors have identified Real Madrid man Drenthe as the best option.
The 21-year-old joined the Merengues from Feyenoord in 2007, but he made a limited impact after falling out with former boss Bernd Schuster.

It remains to be seen whether new tactician Juande Ramos takes a different approach to the talented youngster, but he may already have set his heart on a fresh challenge.
Juve may have to dig deep in their pockets to secure Drenthe's services because Real paid around £12m for him and would be likely to demand at least that fee for his sale.
