New Juventus signing Andrea Pirlo has urged the club to sign Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi from under the noses of Barcelona.
• Oriol: Rossi wants Barca move
• Klose talks up Lazio move
• Agent: Barca in negotiations
• Rossi calm over Barca link
Rossi has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp, with negotiations ongoing over his transfer and the Italian has been outed by team-mate Joan Oriol as wanting to move this summer.
However, Italy legend Pirlo joined Juve last month and wants Rossi to join him in Turin to bring the club their first Scudetto since the 2002-03 campaign.
"We must buy players of proven quality to get ourselves back to the top and start winning trophies again. In my opinion it looks like we have a great year ahead of us," Pirlo told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"He's [Rossi's] the type of player that every club needs, it would be great to have him here with us."
Rossi scored the first goal for Italy as they beat Estonia 3-0 in the Euro 2012 qualifiers this weekend.
