Blanc denies Trez exit
Friday 24 November, 2006
Juventus director general Jean-Claude Blanc has denied that striker David Trezeguet will move to Lyon in January.
The Bianconero was paired with the French side during the summer after the Old Lady’s relegation, before he was forced to stay in Turin.
However, the latest reports suggested that Lyon were ready to make an incredible £21m offer in the New Year.
“Trezeguet will not leave in January,” Blanc told Il Corriere dello Sport. “In Serie B and Serie A we need someone who can put the ball in the back of the net and he is the best at doing this.
“I know I said the same for Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer and then things did not go as I expected.
“But this is because, in the end, the player’s will is very important – the money and the agreements are not decisive. But Trezeguet stays for the time being.
“I cannot guarantee that all the key players will stay for next season, they will have to believe in the project and not worry only about their contracts.
“I want Juventus to be the Ferrari of Europe’s football. We have renovated the club and we want truth and honesty to be our main characteristics.
“This is our mission, we believe we can do something amazing all together, on the pitch and off it.
“We are building a very strong team in view of the future, we want to return to the highest levels of European football as soon as possible,” concluded Blanc.
