Real's £42m Amauri bid rejected

Juventus have reportedly turned down a £42.6m offer for Amauri from Champions League rivals Real Madrid.

The Spaniards are seeking a new striker after a knee ligament injury ruled Ruud Van Nistelrooy out of action for the rest of the season.

Impressed by his form for Juve since moving from Palermo in the summer, which includes the winning goal against Real in Turin, President Ramon Calderon is said to have made a huge bid for the player.

According to Tuttosport newspaper, the Bianconeri rejected a £42.6m offer for Amauri – more than double what they paid for him in May.

He had already been of interest to Real and Milan in the summer, but opted for Juventus instead.

Now Real Madrid are hunting elsewhere for their replacement striker and one of the likely candidates is also a Serie A star.

Hernan Crespo is not only an experienced Argentine who Inter would be happy to release as he rarely features even on the bench, but he is also available for the Champions League.

Crespo’s name was not on the list for the European competition and so he is not cup-tied, making him a more valuable proposition right now than Manchester United’s Carlos Tevez.

If its true and we did reject a 50M euro bid for Amauri then we are idiots
50M euro is probably enough to bring Aguero and Amauri is good but also overated
IMO Iaquinta is better than Amauri

aguero is not what we need, especially with trez out amauri is his only natural replacement right now, a good aerial box striker, who also likes to drop a bit deeper than trez usually would. and just for the record the transfer fee may be one thing, but theres no way we would compete the wages that the other interested parties will offer, then what? bring el hadji diouf instead?

42 Million pounds is a lot of $$ to pay for someone u can't use in the Champions League but i can see why if the report is true since Real has no real targetman up front after RVN is injured.

Dun believe the Juve board will be dumb enough to weaken the team in the middle of a season.

Btw, Amauri is too good and important at this point of time to let go even for that kind of money ...

madrid always liking our big strikers, 2/3 years ago it was zlatan for similar money. im sure if madrid had any intelligence they could risk buying kjh for a fraction of that price and get more mileage
