Although negotiations between Juventus and Schalke 04 appear to have ended over the potential transfer of Christian Poulsen, the Bianconeri are reported to be interested in returning to the Germans with a bid for their right-back Rafinha.
Ciro Ferrara is eager to add the 23-year-old to his exciting squad, but according to Tuttomercatoweb.com, he must sell Zdenek Grygera before he can launch a bid for Rafinha.
There is no lack of interest in Grygera, with Fenerbahce among the clubs interested in the 29-year-old's services, but Juventus are yet to agree a fee with the Turkish side. Fener have offered the Italians €4m for the Czech defender, but this falls short of Juventus' €6m valuation.
Rafinha was signed as a teenager by Brazilian club Coritiba, who also groomed Keirrison from an early age, and his impressive performances bombing forward from defence earned him a move to Schalke in 2005.
The Brazilian fell out with his club last summer, however, after he insisted on competing in the Olympics. Although Die Konigsblauen wanted Rafinha to remain with them for pre-season, the 23-year-old travelled to China nonetheless and incurred a €700,000 fine.
