Juventus Set Sights On Signing Franck Ribery

Juventus have extended their search for a wide midfielder and earmarked Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery as a possible transfer target.

Having already been linked with moves for Fiorentina's Juan Manuel Vargas, and Schalke's Jefferson Farfan for the left wing, Sky Sport Italia now claims the Turin-based outfit are looking at the the France international.

The 28-year-old has only just resumed action for Bayern after an injury, but Juventus are keeping their options open and could be ready to make a last-minute offer for him.

Antonio Conte suggested his side were not quite complete on Friday as they have been unable to sign a wide man to play on the left.

Michel Bastos said he was staying with Lyon, despite being courted by Juventus this summer, while Fiorentina have already turned down a bid for Vargas.

However, despite Conte wanting to recreate the team's golden age, signing Ribery would require a considerable effort as Bayern have often said they are unwilling to sell their best players this summer.

28-year-old Ribery is tied to the German club until 2015.
