"The two players I'd sign would be Saviola and (West Ham striker Carlos) Tevez," said Zanetti. "Perhaps the first would be easier to tear away from Barcelona.

"He would be a great investment: he is only 25 years old and the best is still to come from him.

"Above all he has great ambition and wants to play with continuity. I just hope that he does not take the Juve option."
