Juve target Spanish ace Monday 13 November, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus are eyeing a move for Valencia’s David Villa and have offered the Spanish side £5.7m plus Marcelo Zalayeta for the player’s services, according to reports in Italy.
Bianconeri sporting director Alessio Secco was reportedly in Spain in the past few days and met Amedeo Carboni, who confirmed that the Primera Liga side values the player at £17.8m.
The Old Lady allegedly offered Valencia a swap deal including striker Zalayeta plus cash as their return to Serie A becomes more and more certain as the weeks go by.
Villa, who is also a target for Inter, landed in Valencia in 2005 and scored an impressive 25 League goals last season, finishing one goal behind top scorer Samuel Eto'o of Barcelona.
The Spanish international had a row with Coach Quique Flores last week and has seemingly asked the club to leave, despite being contracted until 2013.
Meanwhile, Juventus are set to extend the contracts of Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedved, which will include roles for after their playing career.
Rumours have suggested Del Piero may be given the Presidency of the Turin outfit, although this has not ended speculation that he may receive an offer to end his career in Japan.
