Trez tempted by Diego call
David Trezeguet admits he’d run to Boca Juniors if legend Diego Armando Maradona put in the call.
“Diego would like me at Boca? I’d find it difficult to say no if that were the case. He puts such passion into his football, but right now that option isn’t on the table,” he told Argentine newspaper 'Ole.’
It’s generally believed this will be Trezeguet’s last season at Juventus after becoming the club’s most prolific ever foreign scorer in Serie A.
Although he is a French international, he spent his formative years in Argentina and was a youth team player for Platense.
Former Napoli hero Maradona has returned to his homeland as a director for Boca Juniors and met Trezeguet during Ciro Ferrara’s testimonial at the Stadio San Paolo in 2005.
After Gianluigi Buffon put in the warning, the Euro 2000 winner is also eager to point out that promotion to Serie A won’t guarantee he stays in Turin.
“Juve have the priority compared to other clubs, but I have already made it very clear to the directors that I want a competitive squad. I am not interested in merely being in the top six.”
Boca are not the only pretenders to his services, as Barcelona, Liverpool and Arsenal have also been linked with Trez.
“I have always liked Spanish football, as it’s similar to the Argentine game, which is where I learned to play,” he explained.
“There is a higher level of quality and technique in Italy, but after five years at Monaco and seven with Juve, I’d like to have another experience elsewhere.”
well , well , well .. i think we can say CIAO TREZE now ..
