Juventus are giving a great deal of thought to a bid for Sampdoria striker Giampaolo Pazzini, according to Tuttosport.
The Bianconeri have struggled going forward this season and many pundits feel it's time they started rejuvenating their attack.
David Trezeguet is coming towards the end of his Juventus career, and Pazzini is among the favourites to replace him.
Pazzini was the best Italian goal scorer in Serie A last year and his performances have attracted interest from Chelsea.
Tuttosport understands that Juventus director of sport Alessio Secco has had extensive talks with Roberto Bettega about signing the 25-year-old Italy international.
He is reportedly being valued at around €20m, a figure Juventus hope to bring down by offering Paolo De Ceglie or even Seba Giovinco in exchange.
Juventus have also been linked with Giuseppe Rossi and Edin Dzeko, but Pazzini remains their No 1 transfer target. [/FONT]
