JUVENTUS has called Socceroo James Troisi to Turin after the left footed forward extended his dual ownership deal with the Old Lady and Atalanta.

Troisi, 25, is expected to meet Juve boss Antonio Conte and the club's directors to discuss his next move once the side returns from its US tour tonight.

Troisi has been training with Juve's other co-owned players in the searing conditions since taking a short break in Adelaide during the off season.

Troisi attracted interest from West Bromwich Albion and West Ham earlier this year.

Italian sources have also stated Troisi has been told to be prepared for a Socceroos call up for the Brazil clash in Brasilia on September 7.

The Adelaide-born attacker hasn't figured for the national team since last year when he started a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia (4-2) at AAMI Park.

AUSTRALIAN-born Christian Esposito - contracted to Italian Serie B club Novara - has been loaned out to the Azzurri's 2006 FIFA World Cup winning boss Marcello Lippi's old club Savona.

Sources have revealed the young attacker is considering a return to Australia to play A-League in 2014 for the first time in his career.

Esposito made his debut appearance for Savona in a Coppa Italia clash last weekend.

Savona beat former Socceroo Zeljko Kalac's former club Perugia 1-0 away from home.

In the Mixer understands that Perugia is on the verge of signing two Australian teenagers.

MELBOURNE HEART today confirmed that it has signed Dutch international Orlando Engelaar as its marquee player.

We're wondering how South Melbourne feels about this.

The defunct NSL's most successful club's bid to buy Heart's A-League franchise is not over according to sources.

The club first had a $3.5 million bid turned down by Heart officials in May.

But Heart officials have reportedly been approached with a bigger offer than the $7 million which was put on the table late last month.

South Melbourne Heart is the name bandied around Melbourne.

KOFI Danning wants to re-join Brisbane Roar a year after leaving them for Belgian outfit CS Vise.

The 22-year-old former Australian youth international had a tough time in Belgium, rarely tasting first-team action at the second division club and suffering a serious knee injury that led to reconstruction surgery.

Danning is now back in Brisbane doing his recovery with the Roar who are a sister club of Vise via having the same owners, the Bakrie Group.

When contacted, Danning was adamant he was not returning to Belgium and wanted to be part of the Roar's 2013-14 A-League squad.

Roar general manager Sean Dobson would not elaborate on whether Brisbane would offer Danning a deal.

"We have Kofi with us ensure his recovery is well managed," said Dobson, who added that the Bakrie Group's sporting arm Pelita Jaya Cronus felt Danning's recovery "would be better handled in Brisbane".

ADELAIDE United may move considerable steps closer to securing a brand financial institution as a huge sponsor.

Some clever networking from one of SA soccer's long time fiscal supporters is working on securing a date of the high profile meeting in concrete.

THE A-LEAGUE'S rumour mill has been rather quiet compared to what's happening in Europe but there has been some action at least between clubs.

Newcastle Jets were reportedly very close to securing Adelaide United's Jon McKain before Josep Gombau arrived to coach the Reds.

The plan was for Jets to cover part of McKain's wage while Adelaide was paying for most of it.

McKain then had some dabbles from the Middle East but at this stage there's nothing concrete on the table for the fringe Socceroos defender.

Foxtel's A-League All Star and Reds defender Nigel Boogaard has now been linked with a Jets move which wouldn't come as a surprise.

It's understood Gombau is looking to move some players on before the season kicks off.

LJUBO Milicevic back in the A-League?

The Roar website, not to be confused with the Roar A-League team, is speculating that the former Socceroos defender could be returning to the Newcastle Jets.

It would come as a shock considering the acrimonious way Milicevic left the Jets in 2011.

But there is no doubting Milicevic's talent and the fact that he would walk into A-League team.

ADELAIDE United defender Iain Fyfe has been given permission to explore opportunities in Iran.

After club officials on Tuesday told 'In the Mixer' offers had come in for players but nothing was concrete, Fyfe is possibly the first man to become Reds coach Josep Gombau's "my way or the highway" philosophy.

Massimo Murdocca 5@Murdocca8
