Fabio Grosso May Move To Juventus Next Week

Ligue 1 : Fabio Grosso (Lyon)

Lyon defender Fabio Grosso could be joining Juventus next week, according Le Parisien, but his future is dependent on that of Porto left-back Aly Cissokho.

Grosso's agent recently suggested that his client would like to return to Italy, but the conditions did not exist for that to happen at the moment. However, that could change if the French club manage to secure the services of Cissokho, who nearly joined AC Milan last month.

Juventus have been linked with the former Palermo star throughout the summer, as they look to continue their impressive transfer campaign and make a run for the Serie A title in 2009-10.

However, the player's agent admits that such a move appears unlikely at first due to the presence of other left-backs in Turin, and the Old Lady's desire to land a midfielder above all else.

The Bianconeri have already snapped up Diego from Werder Bremen, Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid, and are on the verge of signing Felipe Melo from Fiorentina.

The 31-year-old made 28 appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit last season. Lyon have already signed striker Lisandro Lopes from Porto and are hopeful of bringing in Cissokho as well.
