Juventus And Milan Chasing Cagliari Goalkeeper Federico Marchetti

JuventusĀ and Milan are battling for the signature of Cagliari goalkeeper Federico Marchetti, according totuttomercatoweb.

Milan's goalkeeping problems have been quite evident in the last few seasons, with Dida, who has now left the club, and the injury-prone Christian Abbiati failing to produce on a consistent basis.

Marchetti could be their answer, as Marco Storari seems likely to remain with Sampdoria after a successful loan spell in 2009-10.

Meanwhile, Juventus consider Marchetti a capable replacement for Buffon should he leave the club. The press have suggested the Bianconeri will buy the 27-year-old this summer - regardless of whether the World Cup winner stays or departs.

Should Buffon remain with the Turin-based outfit, Marchetti would be loaned out to another team.

Marchetti's currently training with the Italian national team ahead of the World Cup and is expected to be part of coach Marcello Lippi's final 23-man squad.
