| Juve revisit Alonso idea |

According to Tuttosport, the Juventus board have given Alessio Secco the all clear to sign Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.
The Bianconeri tried to buy Alonso last year, only for Claudio Ranieri to turn his attention to Christian Poulsen.
Tuttosport understands Juventus want the 27-year-old Spain international to anchor their midfield so Diego can fully express his talent.
A new bid for Alonso was apparently prepared four days ago as talks with Udinese for Gaetano D'Agostino began to deteriorate.
The Bianconeri face serious competition in the race to sign Alonso, who is being valued at £21m amid interest from Real Madrid.
Juventus will need to sell players if they are to raise enough funds to complete the transfer.
Poulsen is the one of the players who is up for sale.
However, at the weekend he rejected a move to Fenerbahce and insisted he wants to stay in Bianconero.
