Aug 1, 2006, 15:30 GMT
Turin, Italy - Troubled former European champions Juventus seem set to lose Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and goalkeeper Gianluiggi Buffon, Italian media reported on Tuesday.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that both players had agreed to join AC Milan after Juventus' demotion to Serie B after being found guilty of match-rigging offences had been confirmed by an appeal court.
In Ibrahimovic's case Juventus is demanding 40 million Euros transfer fee, while AC Milan is offering considerably less.
Buffon too, seems on his way to AC Milan even though Juventus president Francesco Cobolli Gigli said Monday evening that Buffon had said he was going to stay with Juventus.
On Tuesday it was reported though that Juventus was attempting to sign goalkeeper Marco Amelia from Livorno.
Livorno is demanding a ten million Euros transfer fee for the 24- year-old who is Buffon's reserve in the national team.
