Juventus boss Fabio Capello is hoping to have Real Madrid’s Walter Samuel at his disposal next season.
The Turin giants are on the verge of winning their 28th title, but the tactician is keen to strengthen his squad in a bid to also win the Champions’ League in the new campaign.
Although Juve have the best defensive record in Serie A, they lack central defensive options seeing as both Fabio Cannavaro and Lilian Thuram have virtually played throughout the whole season without a break.
Capello wants another stopper and Samuel is believed to be high of his wish-list given their success together in the past.
The Argentine established himself as one of the best defenders in the world while at Roma under the tactician.
However, reports suggest that Real would only release him if Juventus include one of their players who are of interest to them in any negotiations.
The Madrid outfit are believed to be keen on Gigi Buffon, Emerson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic but the Turin club are unlikely to release any of the three.
Meanwhile, Messina’s Alessandro Parisi will take part in Juventus’ end of season tour in Japan.
The left-back, contracted to his current club until 2007, will be given the chance to impress Capello.
Juve, who have been linked with the player for some time, could then decide to make a summer bid for his permanent services.
Teammate Marco Zanchi, who is on loan at Messina from Juventus, is also expected to be involved in the Far East trip.
