Manchester City risk losing out to Juventus for Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.
Tuttosport says Juve are making a late move to trump City for the Bosnia international.
While Juve cannot sign him for January - having no space for non-EU players - Mohamed Sissoko will be offered next month as a deposit for June.
Wolfsburg are keen on the 25-year-old Mali midfielder and wanted him as part of the Diego move six months ago, but the Italians wouldn't budge.
Working in Juve's favour is that Dzeko would prefer a move to Italy over England.
