Valencia make Trez offer
Valencia have confirmed they enquired after David Trezeguet, while Cagliari signed the 'new Gabriel Batistuta.’
Trezeguet has made it very clear he wishes to leave Juventus this summer, having called the contract renewal offer presented to him “ridiculous.”
In turn, the Bianconeri are refusing to sell him to any other Italian club – specifically Inter – to avoid reinforcing their direct rivals in Serie A.
With Olympique Lyonnais, Arsenal and Marseille all said to be interested in the Frenchman, Valencia have officially added their name to the list.
“There has been contact so we could understand what the situation was,” said director of sport Amedeo Carboni to 'RaiSport.’
“We would certainly like Trezeguet. Inside I am optimistic, but in official terms we don’t have much of a chance.”
In other transfer news, Cagliari have already replaced Inter-bound David Suazo with Argentine hitman Joaquin Larrivey.
The 22-year-old has been the top scorer in the second division with Huracan, netting 10 goals, and his style has earned him the nickname 'El Bati’ for his similarity to Fiorentina legend Batistuta.
Meanwhile, Empoli have extended 39-year-old goalkeeper Daniele Balli’s contract until June 2008.
