Barzagli snubs Juventus interest Thursday 19 May, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrea Barzagli has committed his future to Palermo despite transfer interest from Italian giants Juventus.
The youngster has been heavily associated with the Bianconeri but he’s ready to see out the five-year contract that he signed at the Stadio Barbera last summer.
"I’m not thinking about leaving here," he said. "The only thing that can change that is if the club decide to sell me.
"I’m very happy in this city and at this club. I’ve had a great year and all I can see in my future now is a great holiday and Palermo."
Barzagli has enjoyed a fine campaign since his move from Chievo Verona at the start of this season.
His form has been so impressive that the central defender is now a regular Azzurri squad member too.
Juve are looking for some new defensive options as they do lack cover for Lilian Thuram and Fabio Cannavaro.
They will also lose Ciro Ferrara, due to retirement, and Paolo Montero in the summer after the latter admitted he’s looking for a Spanish move.
