Barcelona make contact with Juventus fullback Zambrotta


Barcelona intermediaries are in talks with Juventus fullback Gianluca Zambrotta.

While Barca sports chief Txiki Begiristain insisted last week that the capture of Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen would be their only piece of business during the summer market, it's emerged they've been sounding out Zambrotta about a move to Spain after the World Cup.
Zambrotta is committed to Juve, but won't consider staying should they be thrown out of Serie A over the Calciopoli scandal.
Real Madrid and AC Milan are also interested in Zambrotta, but Barca hope to outbid all rivals with a massive contract offer for the Italian.
