Juve are currently playing their home games at the Stadio Olimpico, having moved out of their own ground in 2006.

A decision on whether to renovate or rebuild their stadium will be made by the Juventus board within two months.

"The first [option] is to restore it, which would allow us to comply with the Pisanu [anti-hooliganism] law and with UEFA regulations," says a statement from club managing director Jean-Claude Blanc on website juventus.it.

"The facility's structure would remain the same, with 50,000 seats and maintaining the current distance between the stands and the pitch.

"The second hypothesis is building a new 40,000-seater stadium, a true Juventus home for the fans, a facility that would give lustre to the whole city and would be at the vanguard in Italy in terms of security, enjoyment of the games and visibility."

Stadium renovations would be complete for the start of the 2009/2010 season, whereas a new facility would mean an extra two years of sharing the Stadio Olimpico with city rivals Torino.

"In terms of investment, obviously the second option is a lot more onerous," Blanc said.

"We will have to carefully evaluate it because we would not want this project to damage the team's competitiveness, which is our primary objective at this time."
