Werder Bremen and Juventus are in advanced talks over a player exchange.
It is thought the deal could see Bremen become a sort of feeder club for Juve, and in return they would be able to take some of the Italian club's players on loan.
Werder Bremen general manager Thomas Eichin told Bild: "Yes, I have been in Turin this week to have negotiations with Juventus.
"I have been invited (by them) to talk about an intended potential cooperation."
