Sky Sports News understands Juventus
have approached Chelsea regarding a loan deal for Florent
Malouda.
The French winger was persistently linked with the Stamford
Bridge exit over the summer after the arrival of manager Luiz
Felipe Scolari.
Speculation has failed to go away following Malouda's
inconsistent form in England after a big-money move from Lyon in
2007.
And it is now reported that Juventus' former Chelsea boss
Claudio Ranieri has made an enquiry regarding the France
international.
Juventus currently sit second in Serie A and Ranieri is eager
for reinforcements as he looks to loosen Inter Milan's stranglehold
on the title.
