Cobolli Gigli focuses on sales Tuesday 21 July, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has now shifted his attention to selling players rather than buying them.
The Bianconeri have been very ambitious in the transfer market this summer, spending £48m on new talent.
However, with an eye on the balance sheet, now is the time to try and recoup as much of that money as possible.
“I can confirm that, for now, we are thinking about selling, then we will make subsequent decisions,” Cobolli Gigli said.
“Now we have to balance the books.”
Asked if his comments were linked to reports suggesting Juventus are desperately trying to offload Christian Poulsen, Cobolli Gigli replied: “Yes…”
The Bianconeri orchestrated a £7m deal to sell Poulsen to Turkish side Fenerbahce, but the player's wife rejected the move.
Reports suggest Fulham have also been offered the Denmark international.
