Juventus are encouraging Manchester United to open swap talks for Gigi Buffon.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Juve are keen to discuss an exchange involving Buffon for United striker Dimitar Berbatov.

Juve see Berbatov as a replacement for Amauri, who suffered a knee injury last week.

Buffon has been long linked with United in the Turin press this season and returned to training at Juve this week.
