Davide Lanzafame (2 Viewers)

Juventus young gun Davide Lanzafame insists that he will be joining Palermo this summer and is looking forward to the challenge.

The gifted marksman had been expected to move to Sicily as part of the deal that will see Amauri arrive at Juve.

However, there were reports that he was unwilling to relocate to the Stadio Renzo Barbera as he hoped for a move to West Ham – a suggestion that Lanzafame vehemently refutes.

“I’m 99.9 per cent a Palermo player and I’m only not saying 100 per cent due to superstition,” he roared.

“I want to deny the lies that have been written that say that I have cold feet about moving to the Rosanero.

“The truth is quite the contrary and I will clarify a lot of things when I am there. I have a Sicilian father and feel Sicilian, so I am very proud that I will be able to wear the Palermo shirt.

“I don’t like talking about myself too much and I want the fans to judge me on the way I play.

“I know Federico Balzaretti and Antonio Nocerino, who I have spoken to lots during the Toulon Tournament, and I can’t wait to get started with next season.

Did Juve really sell this player to Palermo, because in Juve official statement only Nocerino and 15mln euro have gone to Palermo for Amauro deal, and nowhere there was Lanzafame mentioned. I hope they did not sell him, it would be better to send on loan somewhere else in Italy or England.

Prior to the mercato, Juve management said that they were going to loan David to a serie A team. I hope this is what they've done!

 

[Paolo Sosa]

it will be a whole differnt operation seeing as Lanzafame was with the U21 team and he couldn't come for the medical and signing the contract. once the Olympics are over he will come and sign

It is also on Juventus.com. He has returned, but I am sure they will loan him out.

Sebastian Giovinco back at Juventus
A busy end of June at Juventus in transfer market terms: another three deals were completed today, all concerning young talents raised in the Club's youth sector - Giovinco, Lanzafame and Mirante.

The most important item of news, the one all the Bianconeri fans wanted to hear, is that Sebastian Giovinco is again 100% a Juventus player. Indeed the Club exercised the option they had to buy back the whole ownership of the player, and Empoli were therefore unable to exercise their rights to buy the young talent in full. Thus Giovinco will be at Manager Ranieri's disposal for the 2008/09 season.

Juventus did the same with Bari for Davide Lanzafame. They exercised their option, so the Puglia club couldn't get full ownership of the striker. Therefore Lanzafame, one of the best players in Serie B last year, comes back to Juventus.

And finally, Antonio Mirante; Sampdoria exercised their option rights on the Campania-born goalkeeper, who will stay at the Club another year, Sampdoria having full ownership with a participation agreement.

Doesn't mean Lanzafame can't be loaned out yet. I expect him to play play for Palermo still come the next season.

 

[Mark]

or co-owned

 

[AngelaL]

NNNnoooooooo! A loan only! Or else :boxing: :boxing:

 

[ESS-Juventino]

Lanzfame returned? Didn't we send him to Palermo with Co-ownership in Amauri deal?

that i was asking long time, because Juve did only Nocerino include in deal with Palermo, and not Lanzafame.

He could stay as a fifth striker. Palladino seems to be gone, so why not?

 

[Dominic]

The guy needs playing time. If all goes (reasonably) well, we wont ever use him.

 

[zann]

send him out on loan to a serie a club man

 

[TERENCEE]

he will remain in juve according to official website.

 

[Osman]

No, they dont say that at all. He just officially got back from the loan NOW. He is back in our books again, and we now can decide where to loan him or half sell him to.

It will be Palermo. Either way, at the least it must be a Serie A club.

 

[da_ledgeaun]

[CORVETTE]

It's like a Co-ownership deal , but Palermo has the right to buy his full contract by the end of the season !!
