Juventus chief Elkann in Munich to register Ribery interest

Juventus are joining the battle for Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery.

Leggo says Juve supremo John Elkann was in Munich over the weekend for German publishing magnate Hubert Burda's birthday.

And along with Elkann, also among the guests were several Bayern powerbrokers, including Franz Beckenbauer - giving the FIAT chief the perfect opportunity to discuss the availability of Ribery.

Real Madrid remain favourites for the Frenchman, but Elkann has now registered Juve's interest as they seek to overhaul their current flagging squad.

Ribery......Another french star at Juve.......Very possible. Torres is possible too if Rafa leaves Liverpool. But we need Giovinco too play, that is too much talent just sitting on the bench, and getting hurt during practice??. Play him. If Juve Sign Ribery/Diego/Giovinco.....That is very nice. But if Ribery is too expensive, they can opt for Hamsyk, and play Giovinco/Diego/Hamsyk.

I agree with Mikkel, Juve signing players from that list would be great, some are unrealistic, all VERY exspensive and risky.

Upfront Juve should sign Real's Gonzalo Higuaín or Sampdoria's Pazzini and Fiorentina's Juan Vargas for the midfield.
Defence, where most work needs doing, should sign Mexes from Roma, Drenthe from Real, more signings are needed but these would be great and make a massive difference.

Juventus must go for Ribery, Davis Silva or Fabregas and Torres or Villa upfront!
