Juventus are reportedly weighing up a summer swoop for Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko.
The Bosnian's early season form has tailed off and he has come in for some criticism from the City faithful.
Carlos Tevez's return to the squad has also put the 25-year-old's place under threat.
The Citizens' interest in Real Madrid frontman Gonzalo Higuain has now alerted Juventus to the prospect of landing Dzeko.
As a result, the Italians are monitoring the situation and could make their move this summer.
