Juventus boss Fabio Capello has revealed his club’s summer transfer plans and objectives for the new season.
The tactician confirmed that the outfit would be looking to buy quality players in the hope of mounting a serious Champions’ League challenge next term.
"We already have some clear ideas," he told the Tuttosport newspaper. "Bringing back the European Cup to Turin is our principal objective for next season.
"We are looking for players who can make a 10 percent difference to the side rather than just two percent. Seeing as we are not starting from the bottom, this will be very difficult to do.
"I’ve asked the club for a rich squad even if we know that the money box is closed and we can’t violate the books. We’ll do our very best."
Juventus have been linked with Roma’s Antonio Cassano and Alberto Gilardino of Parma, but their arrival would seemingly only occur if the club sold first.
One man who has been linked with a ‘sacrifice’ is Real Madrid target Emerson, even if Capello has rubbished that claim.
"He is not going to leave," added the former Roma boss. "He is one of the best midfield players in the world in my opinion, if not the best."
Capello led Juve to the title at his first attempt but he has been criticised this term over his continual substitution of Alessandro Del Piero.
"Alex’s conduct was extraordinary, as a captain and a professional," noted the Coach.
"I said that he would one day thank me and he returned to the champion he is in the closing stages of the season.
"He is an important player and I don’t enjoy substituting anyone. I just do my job, the one which I am paid for."
Juventus have undoubtedly been solid this season, rather than entertaining, and Capello expects that not to change in the 2005-06 campaign.
"Winning gets people talking and remains in the record books. Entertaining play is forgotten and only relative," he defended.
The master tactician concluded by commenting on Milan’s extraordinary collapse to Liverpool in the Champions’ League Final.
"I thought it would be all downhill for the Rossoneri after Paolo Maldini’s goal," he said. "The blackout in the second half was incredible, even if luck wasn’t on Milan’s side either."
