Reports from Germany suggest France star Franck Ribery is ready to break with Bayern Munich, alerting Juventus.
According to Bild, the 25-year-old allegedly criticised his teammates this weekend for repeatedly slipping up in the Bundesliga.
Bayern are currently fifth in the German Championship, five points behind League leaders Hertha Berlin.
Bayern President Franz Beckenbauer believes Ribery is acting up in order to orchestrate a move away from Bavaria.
“Ribery has given me the impression of having said things with a clear intention,” Beckenbauer declared.
“It's always a problem when a player wants to leave and the club doesn't want to sell him, putting a gun to his chest.”
Juventus are looking to replace Pavel Nedved, who will retire at the end of the season, and Ribery is widely thought of as his ideal successor.
The former Marseille playmaker is arguably the best player in Europe at the moment and has scored nine goals in 22 appearances for Bayern this season.
