I found this on channel 4. Don`t know if it is true:
Messina bring in Birindelli
Sunday 15 January, 2006
Messina have confirmed the imminent arrival of Juventus defender Alessandro Birindelli and several other reinforcements.
“Will Birindelli be presented to the Press on Monday? I cannot deny that,” said President Pietro Franza after last night’s goalless draw with Palermo.
“A couple of days ago I went to the Juventus headquarters to discuss a few things. I went there to get a few January sales, but above all I found professional people and some great players. I would be very happy to welcome Birindelli to Sicily.”
Birindelli has had a troubled season after damaging knee ligaments in August, but should be ready to play at the end of this month.
The 30-year-old joined Juve from Empoli in 1997 and has won four Scudetto titles with the club.
Messina, who sold last season’s top scorer Riccardo Zampagna to Atalanta last night, have already snapped up his replacement in the form of Sergio Floccari.
The 24-year-old support striker has impressed with Rimini, helping them to promotion from Serie C1 to a mid-table position in the second division. “He has already signed for us,” confirmed President Franza.
The Sicilians have been active on the transfer market and already brought in midfielder Alessandro Nocerino from Crotone, although his contract is still owned by Juventus and Genoa.
