La Gazzetta dello revealed that the Bianconeri want to bring the World Cup winner back to Italy to strengthen their backline and boost them for next season Serie A and Champions League campaigns.

The 30-year old defender struggled in France and failed to reproduce his form that helped Italy win the World Cup 2006.

The report suggested that the Old Lady could lure his services for less than £4m especially that Juve and Lyon boss are on good terms after Jean-Alain Boumsong moved from Italy to the French Champions last January.

Grosso's agent Danilo Caravello has urged Juventus bosses to move for his client.

“I have read the rumours in newspapers. But Fabio is clearly of Juventus caliber, as he is a World Cup winner and will be a key player at Euro 2008."
