Juventus are preparing a formal approach for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Bianconeri are determined to bring in a new striker after Dusan Vlahovic left at the expiry of his contract on June 30.
They have been linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani, but the £43m price tag has put them off.
The Serie A giants are now looking for a cheaper alternative, and they are said to be weighing up an approach for Jackson.
Jackson spent last season on loan with Bayern, where he scored 10 goals.
The Bavarian giants had the option to buy him for £43m, but they decided that the price tag was too much for his ability.
Jackson will return to the Blues for pre-season later this month, and it remains to be seen where his future lies next term.
New manager Xabi Alonso could evaluate his performances in pre-season before considering whether to keep him or sell.
