Milan are considering an audacious bid for Juventus forward David Trezeguet to ease their striker shortage, coach Leonardo said yesterday.

The 31-year-old French striker has fallen down the pecking order in Turin and Juve officials have not discounted allowing him to leave.

"I don't know at what point talks are at but Trezeguet is definitely an extraordinary player," Leonardo told Italy's Sky television from Milan's US pre-season tour.

Milan, who finished third in Serie A last term behind Juve and champions Inter Milan, have been struggling to find a new forward after selling Brazil's Kaka to Real Madrid.
