Bovo in good Kompany
Wednesday 23 February, 2005
Cesare Bovo and Vincent Kompany are the latest youngsters to be associated with Italian giants Juventus.
The Delle Alpi outfit are keen to rejuvenate their central defensive options for the new campaign, due to the lack of cover for Lilian Thuram and Fabio Cannavaro.
Juve presently only have Paolo Montero and Ciro Ferrara at the club as possible alternatives, following the January departures of Nicola Legrottaglie, Mark Iuliano and Igor Tudor.
Given that Montero is widely considered as past his best, and that Ferrara will retire in the summer, the club need some new faces.
Under-21 international Bovo (pictured) is being monitored after his performances for struggling Parma this term.
The stopper, who is on loan at the Stadio Tardini, is part owned by both Roma and Palermo.
The latter are willing to do business with the Bianconeri but the capital boys are not so keen, as they would like the former Lecce youngster at the Olimpico in the future.
That may see Juve look elsewhere, with Anderlecht ace Kompany another possible acquisition.
The 18-year-old is highly-rated across Europe, leading to real interest from both Milan clubs recently.
Juventus are apparently ready to offer £4m plus a player between Tudor, currently on loan at Siena, and striker Marcelo Zalayeta.
