Juve plan Gila and Vargas raid

As part of their plan to lure Cesare Prandelli to Turin in the summer, Juventus also hope to sign Fiorentina duo Alberto Gilardino and Juan Vargas.

The Bianconeri are planning on completely overhauling the current structure of the club this summer after one of the worst seasons on record.

Juventus were expected to not just challenge but win major honours after significant investment in the transfer market at the end of last season.

However, the project was effectively ripped up in January when the club sacked Ciro Ferrara after a dismal run in Serie A and elimination from both the Champions League and Coppa Italia.

Alberto Zaccheroni was brought in as a caretaker boss, but things haven't improved dramatically with Juventus still in sixth place in Serie A.

Tuttosport understands that Juventus will not offer him the job on a permanent basis in the summer and that the favourite for the post is Prandelli.

There were claims earlier this month that the Fiorentina Coach had already accepted an offer to move to Turin, although they were later denied.

However, the speculation refuses to go away and the Turin media believe Juventus are shaping their rebuilding process around Prandelli.

That means keeping Felipe Melo, the Brazilian midfielder who has flopped this season, but was effectively signed off the back of a very good year under Prandelli at Fiorentina.

It also implies that Juventus will sign players Prandelli trusts like Gilardino and Vargas, although the club's directors are also said to be certain of making an approach for Sampdoria striker Giampaolo Pazzini this summer.
