Juventus To Pounce For Olympique Lyonnais Defender Fabio Grosso

Juve are planning a swoop for the Italian international and Trezeguet could move in the opposite direction.



According to Turin daily Tuttosport, Olympique Lyonnais full-back Fabio Grosso is set to return to Italy this summer and could relocate to Juventus.
Grosso has two more years left on his contract with the Stade Gerland outfit but is believed to be in favour of a switch to the Turin giants.

And Juve are reportedly considering a part-exchange deal with striker David Trezeguet, who has been often linked with the French champions in recent months.

Trezeguet is expected to head for the exit door in the summer after growing frustrated at his lack of first team action, but he would have to accept a hefty pay cut in order to join les Gones.

The Frenchman earns €4 million per season at the Olimpico, a figure well beyond the salary cap imposed by president Jean-Michel Aulas at Lyon, where top players’ wages don’t exceed the €3m mark per annum.

Meanwhile, there are reports that Sevilla are considering taking back Danish international Christian Poulsen, who joined Juve for €9m last summer but has failed to impress in Turin.
