Juventus are being encouraged to bid for AS Monaco striker Radamel Falcao. Falcao is keen to leave ASM this month, but has seen a move to his favoured destination, Real Madrid, fall through.
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti insists their summer business is over - much to the disappointment of Falcao.
However, the Colombian remains determined to quit Monaco and is now exploring the prospect of a move to Turin with Juve.
Gazzetta della Sport says Falcao's representatives have made contact with Juve in recent days to set up transfer talks.
And encouragingly for Juve, Falcao has indicated he'd be willing to accept a hefty pay-cut on his ASM wages to make the move happen.
