Category: <b>General</b><br><br>New signing Sergio Almiron is ready to start his adventure in Turin with Juventus. “I can face any problems.”
The former Empoli man joined La Vecchia Signora last month for a fee of around £6.5m and admits that he had been dreaming of the day he would play with the Bianconeri for a while.
“I am here to prove myself to everyone and I am ready to face any problems,” the midfielder told Hurra Juventus.
“This is a new starting point in my career – I have been waiting for this moment for some time,” added Almiron, who started his career in Argentina with Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina before moving to Udinese in 2001.
“I especially remember one episode associated to Juventus, when I scored against Gianluigi Buffon at the Stadio Delle Alpi in 2006.
“It is a moment that will remain in my memory forever, you don’t beat Buffon every day. At the end of the match I was pleased to hear that he feared my free-kicks,” concluded Almiron.
Portuguese international Tiago Mendes is also thrilled to be at Juventus after moving to the Stadio Olimpico in a £9m move from French champions Lyon.
“I don’t want to speak about myself, I prefer to be judged by others. I like to do simple things, helping my teammates to score,” said the holding midfielder.
“I know that this outfit has gone through a difficult time, now it has been renovated and is building a strong side with experienced players. I am sure we can do great things,” concluded Tiago.
In the meantime, Juve have allegedly given up on signing defender Gabriel Milito, as Real Zaragoza have accepted a £12m offer from fellow Spaniards Barcelona.
However, the Bianconeri are still tracking Portuguese duo Jorge Andrade of Deportivo La Coruna and Stuttgart’s Fernando Meira as they search for a new central defender.<br><br>Source: Channel 4
