Juventus seek option on Real Madrid's Robinho


Juventus are prepared to sell several of their stars to Real Madrid in exchange for first option on some of their top players in season 2007/08.

In the event Juve are thrown out of Serie A this summer, coach Fabio Capello is expected to take with him Emerson, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gianluca Zambrotta to Real Madrid.
Rather than resist Real's bid, Juve chiefs are said to have drawn up plans to negotiate swap deals for some of the Spanish giant's best players. The likes of Robinho would move to Turin in 2007, should Juve win promotion back to Serie A next season.
Brazil international Robinho has already admitted his admiration for Italian football this week: "Italy has a great team and they play beautiful football."
