Premier clubs push for Poulsen Thursday 16 July, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus outcast Christian Poulsen has four different Premier League clubs and Barcelona vying for his signature.
It was already reported that Barca had made a £13m offer, but now there are claims Sunderland, Tottenham, Fulham and Liverpool are also interested.
“Juventus could release some of their midfielders following the arrival of Felipe Melo,” agent Jorn Bonnesen told newspaper 'Ekstra Bladet.’
“There are several in that role, so it’s possible the club is ready to sell Poulsen and evaluate any offers that come in.
“That is what we have been told, but it does not mean Poulsen has got to be sold.”
The Danish midfielder has been told in no uncertain terms that he is not part of Coach Ciro Ferrara’s plans for this season.
“Poulsen is a professional and I have no intention of ostracising him. While he is here, I will use him,” the tactician said in his Press conference.
“But I had a very clear talk with him and he needs to evaluate what his needs are, especially in the year running up to the 2010 World Cup.”
