Notts County "in hunt" for ex-Juventus defender Martin Caceres

Notts County have been linked with a move for former Juventus defender Martin Caceres, if a report on the internet is to be believed.

According to Breaking Football Update - and you can read the piece here, to prove we're not making it up - the Magpies are said to be interested in the 29-year-old Uruguayan, who has won La Liga and the Champions League with Barcelona, as well as five Serie A championships with Juve.

Caceres, currently a free agent, has been linked with the likes of Chelsea and Swansea City, and can sign for a club outside the transfer window.

It remains to be seen whether one of the most highly sought after free agents in football would turn down a club in a top tier league, perhaps in European competition, for one plying its trade in League Two and taking on mighty teams such as Morecambe and Stevenage.

However, football is a strange old game, and if it does indeed happen, you heard it on Pride of Nottingham first.

Maybe he likes the black and white strip so much after rocking the stripes at Juve?

After we sign Caceres, should we also go for Emmanuel Adebayor? Maybe put a cheeky bid for Eden Hazard while we're at it? Share your thoughts about this story on Pride of Nottingham by signing up to the website, visiting the forum and joining the conversation.
