Juventus could offer Domenico Criscito and Marco Marchionni to Palermo in their bid to sign Amauri, according to Tuttosport.

Brazilian striker Amauri is a confirmed summer transfer target for Juventus, but Palermo will only do business if they are offered some players as part of the deal.

Juve sporting director Alessio Secco had come to an agreement with his Palermo counterpart Rino Foschi to sign Amauri for €15m plus young starlets Sebastian Giovinco, Paolo De Ceglie and Claudio Marchisio.

However it is reported that Claudio Ranieri vetoed the deal, causing the agreement to fall through.

Instead it appears a new proposal could be made which includes Domenico Criscito and Marco Marchionni moving to Sicily instead.

Criscito has been on-loan at Genoa since January, while Marchionni has endured a miserable campaign due to injury, and is likely to be up for sale in the summer anyway.

Other possible exchange names are Antonio Nocerino and Raffaele Palladino, although the latter is reported to have already turned down the chance of a move.
