Juventus are ready to ramp up their rivalry with AC Milan after their week-long slanging match.
After all the acrimony over the manner of Juve's win over Milan on the weekend, the Bianconeri are now moving for Nigel de Jong.
The Holland midfielder comes off contract in June and talks over new terms have stalled, says Tuttosport.
Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri is a big fan of De Jong, having worked with him while in charge of Milan.
The Serie A leaders are ready to ferry De Jong away from Milan on a Bosman in the summer - and given his status, won't have to make any contact with the Rossoneri about their intentions.
For his part, De Jong is keen, particularly with Milan now languishing in the wrong half of the Serie A table.
