Juventus want a straight swap involving David Trezeguet for Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva.

With only a year left Trezeguet's existing contract, Juve know they must sell this summer and have made an opening proposal to the Gunners of a straight exchange for Brazil international Gilberto, says Corriere dello Sport.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger isn't expected to accept Juve's offer and is likely to offer straight cash for his ex-Monaco star with time ticking down on Trezeguet's Juve deal.
