According to the Corriere dello Sport, Barcelona are set to launch a fresh transfer bid in the region of €20m to €25m for Juventus hitman David Trezeguet.

Trezeguet has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona over the past couple of months, and new Coach Josep Guardiola is said to be desperate to sign the prolific marksman.

In the last few weeks the 30-year-old’s name has not been associated so strongly with the Bluagrana as it had been earlier in the summer, however this has changed in recent days.

It is believed that Guardiola has resurrected his ambitions to sign Trezeguet, and indeed the Corriere dello Sport today claims that he is ready to table an offer of €20m to €25m.

Juve have always stated that the prolific marksman, who arrived in Turin from Monaco in 2000, would be staying but their resolve will surely be put to the test should they receive such an offer.

With Trezeguet set to turn 31 later this year, and with a host of top class strikers already at the club, such as Del Piero, Amauri, Iaquinta and Giovinco, Juve may decide that the money is too good to turn down.

If Trezegol were to sign for Barca, he would hook up with old Monaco pal, and good friend Thierry Henry.

Marcello Lippi has warned Amauri to decide between Italy and Brazil. “We cannot be second choice for anyone.”

The Brazilian striker is applying for Italian citizenship and was asked to be part of the Azzurri by former boss Roberto Donadoni.

Amauri took his time and has still said he will not decide which country to play for until well into the new season, as he waits to see whether he’ll receive a call from the Selecao.

“I don’t like a player who skips between national sides for a month. When he finally does make a decision, it would inevitably seem like a second choice and Italy cannot be second choice for anyone,” the Coach told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I want to see a firm decision and ask nothing else. If he does become legally Italian and chooses us, I certainly wouldn’t be disappointed.”

Lippi is looking to the future of the Nazionale, but also to the recent past, as Francesco Totti and Alessandro Nesta potentially reconsider their decision to retire.

“I advise anyone never to give a definitive farewell to international football, as they might end up reconsidering like Zinedine Zidane and Claude Makelele.

“I’ll be paying close attention to the Olympic Games, as there are four or five players I’m keeping an eye on.”

Although he did not name them, the Gazzetta dello Sport suggests some of those ready to make the leap up from Under-21 level are Giuseppe Rossi, Riccardo Montolivo, Antonio Nocerino, Sebastian Giovinco, Robert Acquafresca and goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.

If there is one man guaranteed his spot with the Azzurri – and most likely the captain’s armband after wearing it intermittently at Euro 2008 – it’s Gianluigi Buffon.

“Gigi was the best confirmation we had during that tournament. He is Number One both on the pitch and in his statements.”

Buffon caused controversy with Donadoni when he publicly apologised on behalf of the team for their 3-0 defeat to Holland.
