Juventus are ready to pounce for unwanted Valencia midfielder David Albelda.

Valencia coach Ronald Koeman plans to dump Albelda during next month's winter market and Juve are set to pounce.

Juve coach Claudio Ranieri rates Albelda highly, having enjoyed a good relationship with the 30 year-old midfielder when in charge of Los Che. A loan deal to the end of the season has been mooted.
