Juve director Alessio Secco met with super agent Paco Casal yesterday to discuss the situations of their Uruguayan pair Marcelo Zalayeta and Ruben Olivera, who are both expected to leave Turin before the start of the season.

Recoba's name was raised by Casal during the meeting and Secco admitted some interest. However, it will be difficult to convince Inter president Massimo Moratti to allow one of his favourite players to join the Bianconeri given their fractured relationship.
