Juventus still harbour hopes of signing Lazio striker Goran Pandev and Olympique Lyonnais defender Fabio Grosso, according to Tuttosport.

The Bianconeri directors have highlighted both players as transfer targets, but recent attempts to sign them have not gone to plan. However, the Turin-based paper claims Juve now have the freedom to manoeuvre after Lyon cashed in on Karim Benzema, who they sold him to Real Madrid.

The French side now need a striker, and they have been keen on David Trezeguet. The Old Lady are now trying to work a deal in which they will sell the hitman to the Ligue 1 side in return for cash plus Grosso. With money and Grosso in the bag, Juve would be able to work on landing Pandev from the Aquilotti.

Although voices in Turin claim a plan is in place, Lazio want around €19 million for the Macedonian, which is being deemed as too high in Turin.

With regards to 'Trezegol's' exit, on Thursday Goal.com spoke to his agent, Antonio Caliendo, who confirmed that his client could be heading to Lyon.
