Werder Bremen midfielder Torsten Frings has confirmed he will be meeting with representatives of Juventus in the coming days to discuss a move to the Serie B leaders.

The Turin club have made no secret of their desire to sign the Germany international this summer as they prepare for a return to Serie A.

They have already raided the Bundesliga to sign Hasan Salihamidzic from Bayern Munich and are reportedly also tracking Bayern striker Claudio Pizarro as well as Frings' Bremen team-mate Miroslav Klose.

While Klose was remaining tight-lipped over the speculation on Sunday, Frings revealed he would be flying to Turin this week to see how it suits him.

"I have an appointment in Turin in the next few days and I will travel there and take it all in before deciding," he told Arena television.

"I don't want to put myself under any pressure right now, but make an educated decision over where I will play next season."

Frings spoke after his side defeated his former club Borussia Dortmund 2-0 on Sunday to keep up the pressure on Bundesliga leaders Schalke.

He still has over a year left on his contract, but is tempted by the chance to play in Italy, although both Juventus and Bremen appear to be miles apart in their valuation of the 30-year-old.

The German side want 12 million euros (£8.2million) for the player while Juve appear set to offer only half as much.
