Juventus are preparing an outrageous bid of two players plus cash to lure Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic to Turin, with the added incentive of half the rights to another player tagged on, according to Italian daily La Stampa.
Luca Marrone and Fabio Quagliarella will be the sweeteners on top of a cash amount ranging anywhere between €3m and €5m, with half the rights of Mauricio Isla thrown in, as Juventus step up their chase.
Jovetic’s future is torn between several clubs, Arsenal and Real Madrid harbouring hopes around the 23-year-old, while Roma have also been mooted as suitors.
With Fiorentina slapping on a €30m price tag on the player, the Bianconeri are expecting their alternative proposal to reach that mark thanks in part to the cash they are ready to stack up.

Fiorentina CEO Sandro Mencucci was quoted by La Stampa as saying: "From a financial point of view, it is a no holds barred affair for anyone, even if [Fiorentina’s owners] the Della Valle family would not be very happy and might have something to say."
Montenegro international Jovetic has been at Fiorentina since 2008 after moving from Serbian side FK Partizan.
He has enjoyed a healthy five years so far, having turned out 134 times for the Serie A side and scoring 40 goals altogether.
Jovetic recently claimed he was interested in a move away from Fiorentina, citing his "young and ambitious" nature as a factor in wanting to win titles.
