JUVENTUS are willing to offer Zinedine Zidane a megabucks deal to persuade their former star to become the club’s head coach at the end of the season.
The Italian giants, who are currently second in Serie A, are reportedly willing to offer Zidane £7million to take up the managerial hotseat.

Club president Andrea Agnelli is said to have retained close ties with the Real Madrid boss, who played for the Turin team for five years from 1996.
And Zidane, who won two Serie A Championships at the club, regularly returns to Piedmont for holidays.
While the World Cup Winner retains Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez’s respect, reports of clashes with players at the Spanish side could make a move to Italy likely.
With Juve boss Maurizio Sarri coming under pressure a managerial change could be on the cards.

Last month Sarri launched a scathing attack on his players after they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Lyon in the first leg of their round 16 Champion’s League tie.
Zidane, who is a fan favourite at Juventus, reckons they could attract the world’s best players and top sponsors under his leadership.
The club’s Portuguese frontman Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to welcome his former Real boss with open arms.
The pair enjoyed a winning relationship during their time together at Real picking up three Champion’s League trophies.
With Real reportedly eyeing Mauricio Pochettino as a replacement, Zidane’s time in La Liga could be coming to end.
The former Tottenham manager is expected to return to work during the off-season after his sacking in north London.
