Juventus are preparing a bid to sign Olympique Lyonnais striker Lisandro Lopez, according to reports in France.

Le Progres believe that the Bianconeri could make a move for the Argentine goalscorer and may offer a fee of around €8m.

The former Porto man has been linked with a transfer to Fiorentina, as well as Antonio Conte's side, but it seems the Turin giants will make the first move with an offer during this transfer window.

It is believed that Coach Conte wants a front-man immediately after his side's poor start to the year, having lost to Sampdoria and drawn with Parma so far in 2013.

Fernando Llorente has been a perennial target for the Old Lady, but will only leave current club Atheltic Bilbao at the end of the season.
