Juventus are ready to use Christian Poulsen as bait to land a midfield playmaker next season.

Tuttosport says Werder Bremen midfielder Diego and Valencia's David Silva are the top two names on Juve's summer shopping list.

The Bianconeri hope to drive down the asking price for either player by including Poulsen in their offer. The Dane has enjoyed success in both Germany and Spain and Juve management are prepared to sacrifice the ball-winner to boost the creativity of Claudio Ranieri's midfield.
