Real Madrid sports chief Predrag Mijatovic will travel to Turin on Tuesday or Wednesday for a meeting with Juventus over their senior trio Emerson, Gianluca Zambrotta and Fabio Cannavaro.

Mijatovic will speak with Juve chief executive Jean-Claude Blanc about their asking price for the three senior stars. Blanc admitted last night that they had to consider offers for all their players.
Mijatovic will be accompanied by Franco Baldini in Italy. After his Juve meeting, Mijatovic is scheduled to travel to Milan to table a £35 million bid for Kaka.
Before the weekend, the Real pair will jet to London. Mijatovic is determined to prise Arjen Robben away from Chelsea, while he also wants to finalise Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer from Manchester United.
Meanwhile, despite the interest of Barcelona, Baldini was at Valdebebas last Friday to assure coach Fabio Capello that a deal for Zambrotta was all but done.
