Juventus haven't given up their bid to prise Gaby Milito away from Real Zaragoza.

Zaragoza rejected a £12 million offer from Juve last Wednesday - their second formal bid for the Argentine - but that won't put off the returning Serie A giants.

Jorge Cysterpiller, a former agent of Diego Maradona, is working as Juve's prime intermediary with Zaragoza and personal terms have already been struck with Milito's agent, Eduardo Gamarnik, over a five-year deal worth £2 million-a-season.

Zaragoza president Agipato Iglesias has told Cysterpiller he won't consider doing business over Milito for anything else than £17 million.
