The former Monaco stopper, currently out injured with a thigh injury, is thought to feature high on Juve coach Didier Deschamps' summer shopping list, and the Mexican would jump at the chance to move to Serie A.
"After experiences in France and Spain, a new adventure in Serie A would be stimulating," said the 28-year-old.
Meanwhile, the Old Lady, recently promoted back into the Italian top flight after a season spent in Serie B, have played down rumours they are on the verge of making a swoop for Lyon midfielder Florent Malouda.
Juve sporting director Alessio Secco said: "Malouda is an excellent player and one of the best in his role, but he is not our priority.
"Our main target for that department is a central midfielder, not a winger like him."
