Juventus plan players swap for Liverpool's Xabi
Juventus are keen to open swap talks with Liverpool over midfielder Xabi Alonso.
Juve came close to landing Xabi from Liverpool last summer and Gazzetta dello Sport says they're ready to try again after seeing a deal for Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino collapse this week.
The Bianconeri cannot match Liverpool's massive £35 million asking price for Xabi, but hope to convince manager Rafa Benitez by including players in their bid.
The prime pair to be offered to Benitez will be Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen and star French striker David Trezeguet.

good sgn in
What would we want Juve crap for? If they want to stick us with Tres & Poulson then the price should be £40m, £35m for xabi and £5m for the other 2's wages
This is a great deal to do. I think Christian Paulsen can fit into Xabi's shoes. He's a great box-to-box player from Schalke 04, Sevilla & Juventus; and as for David Trezeguet (Trezegol), he is fantastic striker when on form. Not an average goal-getter but a Ruud Van Nistelrooys class.
I think he can partner El Nino (Torres) in attack.
