Juventus are ready to offer Chelsea £11 million for winger Florent Malouda.
The Sun says the Italian giants will swoop for the French international midfielder after making contact with his representatives.
Juve have targeted Malouda after Czech Republic legend Pavel Nedved, 36, announced last month he will retire at the end of this season.
A top source at the Turin club said: "We have been looking at a number of options and Malouda is very high on this list.
"Let's see what happens at the end of the season."
