Juventus have made a £12.8m offer for Sevilla striker Frederic Kanoutè, according to reports in Spain.
The Bianconeri are looking to strengthen their squad in view of their likely return to Serie A and need fresh blood in their striking department, as David Trezeguet seems set to leave the outfit in the summer.
The Old Lady are also eager to build a competitive team in order to convince players like Mauro Camoranesi and Gianluigi Buffon to accept another season away from the European stage.
The website Sport.es reports that Kanoutè has been eyed by Juve scouts who have been travelling through Europe and South America, as he is considered a perfect replacement for Trezeguet.
The French-Malian striker currently leads the scorers’ chart in La Liga with 18 goals, ahead of the likes of Ronaldinho and Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Kanoutè is contracted until 2009 and has a £17.8m release clause, but rumours suggest that Juve’s bid might be enough to convince the Spanish outfit to let the 29-year-old leave.
If the Mali international were to snub the Bianconeri, the alternative is likely to be Dutch striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar of Ajax, who was already paired with Juve before Christmas.
