Reports suggest that Manchester United are preparing a bid for Patrick Vieira.
The Old Trafford outfit are allegedly ready to offer Juventus around £7m for the French ace’s signature, but they may also face competition from Real Madrid.
Vieira joined Juve at the start of last season for £13.7m but failed to settle fully in Turin in a season hampered by a persistent groin injury and training ground friction with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
After nine years at Arsenal, Vieira has is no stranger to life in England and is likely to welcome a return to the Premiership.
In the light of the Calciopoli verdict, the Bianconeri are resigned to losing a host of key players and are unlikely to stand in the way of any transfer.
It is also believed that Fabio Cannavaro could leave Juventus this week to join Fabio Capello at Real Madrid.
