Juventus are already in advanced talks with representatives of Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger. The Germany international is off contract in June and has already stated he is learning Italian ahead of a prospective move to Serie A.

Controcampo says Juve are working closely with Schweinsteiger's agent, Robert Schneider, over a five-year contract worth £2.8 million-a-season.

It's been suggested Juve will seek to convince Schneider that they can work closely in the future to expand his representative business if Schweinsteiger agrees to terms.
