Juventus are weighing up a move for Lazio midfielder Cristian Ledesma.

The Bianconeri are looking for a ball-playing central midfielder and had been lining up Sampdoria's Angelo Palombo.

However, reluctant to test their relationship with Samp after luring away coach Gigi del Neri and GM Beppe Marotta, Juve have turned to Ledesma as an alternative.

Lazio value Ledesma at €15m, although Juventus will try and get the price down by offering a number of players in exchange from Paolo De Ceglie and Sebastian Giovinco to Albin Ekdal and Davide Lanzafame.
