Real Zaragoza have rejected an offer from Juventus for defender Gaby Milito.

AS says Zaragoza president Agipato Iglesias rejected a £12 million bid tabled by Juve last Wednesday.

It's the second time in a matter of weeks that Juve have failed in a bid for Milito after having a previous £8 million offer turned down.

Iglesias, aware that Liverpool and Barcelona are also keen on the Argentina international, won't baulk from demanding the player's £20 million buyout clause.
