One area that needs to be fortified is the backup goalkeeper position, as current number two Emanuele Belardi has failed to impress when given the chance.
The Corriere says that Juventus are set to beat off competition from the likes of Fiorentina, Tottenham, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Celtic to sign Schwarzer, who is available on a free transfer as his contract runs out in the summer.
Schwarzer has been at the Riverside for 11 years, having signed for Boro in 1997 from Bradford City. Previous to this he enjoyed a spell in Germany with Kaiserslautern and Dynamo Dresden.
His first club was Marconi Stallions, from the city of his birth in Sydney. The 35-year-old Schwarzer has made 54 appearances for Australia, and played at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Indeed he was in goal during the Socceroos’ dramatic 1-0 defeat to eventual champions Italy in the second round, when Francesco Totti hit a penalty past him in injury time to send the Azzurri through.
