The Serie A sides are in the early stages of talks that would see the Italy international defender return to Turin after just one year in Milan
Juventus and AC Milan have opened preliminary discussions over a possible swap deal involving Leonardo Bonucci and Gonzalo Higuain.
Goal understands Juve are seriously considering bringing back the 31-year-old defender, with Bonucci having left the Serie A champions just one year ago.
Higuain, who is likely to be moved on following Juventus's stunning signing of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo , could head in the other direction, and Goal understands initial talks between both clubs have taken place.
