Real eye Inzaghi raid

Real Madrid have contacted Italian club Juventus to enquire about the availability of Italian international Filippo Inzaghi.

Real sports manager Jorge Valdano believes that the club need another number nine to increase competition between Real regulars Raul, Morientes and Guti, and 'Pippo' Inzaghi has been added to the list of possible candidates.

However, bringing the striker to Spain will not be easy as Juve boss Carlo Ancelotti has stated that he is "not for sale".

Another option could be Roma's Vincenzo Montella, who is reported to be unhappy at living in the shadow of Argentinian ace Gabriel Batistuta, but once again his club seem reluctant to sell.
