Olympique Marseille are interested in Juventus veteran Luca Toni.
The centre-forward has spent much of the season in the stands and is available from Juve this month.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Marseille coach Didier Deschamps wants to close a deal inside the next ten days - in order to head off competition from MLS's Montreal Impact.
Juve are prepared to grant Toni a free transfer to clear his wages off their books.
