Reports claim the Italian giants want to take Owen on loan for the rest of the season when the transfer window reopens in January.
Juve are on the look-out for a striker after it was confirmed this week that French international David Trezeguet would be out for at least four months following surgery on a shoulder injury.
The Turin giants have been linked with a host of names including Brescia starlet Andrea Caracciolo, Adrian Mutu and Simone Inzaghi, but have attempted to play down speculation.
However, the England international has now emerged as a target and Juve are hoping to take advantage of his lack of action in the Spanish capital.
Owen has been only a bit-part player at the Santiago Bernabeu since his summer move and has failed to force his way past Ronaldo and Raul in to the Real first team.
Although he has repeatedly stated his happiness at having moved to Spain, as well as asking for more time to settle, the situation might change if he is still out in the cold come January.
Fabio Capello is reported to be a big fan of the former Liverpool star and would like him to bolster his attacking options.
However, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessandro Del Piero, Marcelo Zalayeta - and Trezeguet when he regains fitness - all on the books at Stadio delle Alpi, competition is no less fierce in Turin.
Whether Owen will want to uproot again remains doubtful, and he would also be unavailable to play in the UEFA Champions League for Juve if he were to appear in that competition for Real before January.

Aha. I don't have much interest in footie any more, but when I read that story, it appeared that you had two fantastic strikers at the beginning of the season, and you thought that was enough.
By "you" I mean Juventus.
Anyway.
Should've could've but didn't've

Which we had.
The selling of Di Vaio and Miccoli is what then made us need another couple of strikers, and by then, Larsson was unavailable.

But things happen.
It's always good to have reserves.
Hence why there's a bench.
In case people get injured (and other reasons)
I wouldn't have said Man U needed Rooney (that fat pie), they still bought him.
At the time Larsson was available, we didn't need strikers.
Now they'll have to settle for Owen.
Anyway - not to bad.
Personally, I think it's a clever bit of work by Capello if it happens.
It's clear Owen isn't happy at Réal - he's only had a few starts, and he's only been subbed on few times in the later stages of matches.
So yeah - it can do us no harm, right?
Hopefully if we do get him on loan, we may look to buy him.
Aye - not to shabby a deal.
