Juventus ready to sell £40M Trezeguet to Chelsea
July 1, 2005
Juventus have told Chelsea they're prepared to sell striker David Trezeguet.
Juve director general Luciano Moggi turned down a £30 million offer from Chelsea last week for the French international.
But it was reported in yesterday's Italian press that Moggi and fellow Juve directors have had a rethink and are willing to sell Trezeguet to the Blues for £40 million.
Moggi intends to replace Trezeguet with Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri.
Vieri has just 12 months left on his San Siro contract and the club are poised to release him in order to get him off their wage bill.
Juventus are ready to take advantage of the situation after they initially failed in an attempt to re-sign him 12 months ago, following his season at the Delle Alpi in 1996-97.
Boss Fabio Capello is a massive fan of the 32-year-old and the Turin club would be keen again, especially as no transfer fee would be involved.
