Chelsea desperately seeking striker
First Published: Jul 04, 2005
Chelsea are reported to be ready to make a 37 million pound (54.6 million euro) bid for Juventus striker David Trezeguet - paving the way for Hernan Crespo to stay at Milan.
Juve's director general Luciano Moggi has confirmed that a 30 million pound offer for Trezeguet was rejected earlier this month, but negotiations are continuing and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has lodged an improved bid, the Daily Mirror reported Monday.
Although Juventus coach Fabio Capello and Moggi have said Trezeguet is not for sale, it is unlikely they would turn down the opportunity to bring in such a massive sum.
The Frenchman struggled last season with a succession of injuries and had been in talks with Barcelona. Chelsea need a new forward and their inability to sign a striker was pulling Crespo back to Stamford Bridge against his wishes.
The loan period at Milan has expired and talks to extend his stay have hit a stalemate despite his offer to take a pay cut.
"Chelsea are trying to convince me to go back, but what I really want to do is stay in Italy," he said.
"I'm having the worst summer of my life because I don't know at what club I will be at in two weeks time. Since losing the Champions League final the only good thing that has happened has been my wedding."
The former Parma, Lazio and Inter star signed for Chelsea in 2003 for 16.8 million pounds, but found it difficult to settle and only rediscovered his form at the San Siro.
Chelsea, who have also been linked with Real Madrid's England striker Michael Owen, also tried to sign Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o of Barcelona and Andriy Shevchenko of AC Milan.
Chelsea were reported to have offered AC Milan a world record 85 million euros (57 million pounds) for Ukraine star Shevchenko but were told it wasn't enough.
Abramovich's club offered Milan 73 million euros (48.9 million pounds) plus Crespo.
With Crespo valued at around 12 million euros (8 million pounds), it would have smashed the current record of 71 million euros (46 million pounds) Real Madrid paid Juventus for France star Zinedine Zidane four years ago.
Mourinho's top scorer last season was midfielder Frank Lampard, as the likes of Didier Drogba and Mateja Kezman struggled to find top form. Kezman left for Atletico Madrid last week and Mourinho is desperate to find another striker.
