The agent of AC Milan striker Alberto Gilardino has confirmed the interest of Juventus.

"Juventus are interested in the player and have made this clear," Beppe Bonetto revealed yesterday.

"However, there are some obstacles to the move which are represented by Gilardino's [£17m] price tag and David Trezeguet's future.

"These are not easy problems to solve and that is why I prefer to remain cautious at this moment in time.

"The solution preferred by the Rossoneri and which Gilardino agrees to is for him to remain here in Milan.

"The transfer window closes on August 30. Today he is a Milan player, but you never know what might happen seeing as the market can be unpredictable."
