Cagliari coach Massimiliano Allegri is under consideration by Juventus.

Juve coach Alberto Zaccheroni accepts he is only tied to the club until the end of the season and Corriere dello Sport says the latest name being discussed at board level is the highly-rated Allegri.

The big stumbling block for Juve will be Cagliari president Massimo Cellino, who has already fought off AC Milan's interest in his coach this season.

Allegri is contracted to Cagliari until the summer of 2011.
