De Rossi to Juventus in 2010?

Daniele De Rossi is allegedly ready to make the move to Juventus from AS Roma at the end of the 2010 World Cup.

De Rossi has been scouted by the Bianconeri, with Premier League giants Chelsea also keen to seal a deal for the Italian midfielder, and could table a bid as soon as January, according to Corriere Dello Sport.

The Blues had reportedly tabled a €40 million bid for the dynamic midfield star, which was refused at the end of offseason.

Juventus are set to table a bid at half that amount, but are willing to offer the Giallorossi a slew of players in exchange.

Speculation has it that Christian Poulsen, Tiago, Lorenzo Ariaudo and Cristian Molinaro could be included in the deal to acquire De Rossi from the capital.

De Rossi has insisted that he is happy to stay with the Lupi, but will move if Roma accepts Juventus' offer.
