Can someone open "Juve still after Barzagli" thread ?
Juve eye Palermo pair
Thursday 27 December, 2007
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini has confirmed Juventus’ interest in star players Amauri and Andrea Barzagli.
The duo have been impressive again this season, leading to rumours that they are set to be snatched up by one of Serie A’s top clubs.
But Zamparini has now confirmed that Juve are interested in signing both players, although he isn’t keen to sell during the up-coming January transfer window.
“
In the last few months Juventus have got closer to Amauri and Barzagli,” announced the controversial President, before hinting that a deal could be done in the future.
“The Bianconeri are the only club who could offer me an adequate player exchange, even though I’m not selling anyone for the time being.”
Milan have also been heavily linked with a move for the pair, but Zampa insists that he won’t do business with the Rossoneri as he still has hard feelings from their previous negotiations over Luca Toni.
“
Milan don’t have to call me as their Vice-President Adriano Galliani is the last person I would sell Amauri to.
“Before selling Toni to Fiorentina I offered him to Galliani. I even begged him to sign him, but he responded that Toni was not suitable to wear to Rossoneri shirt.”
It is thought that both Amauri and Barzagli could be on their way out of Palermo at the end of the season, but Zamparini has previously stated that any deal will not come cheap.
