Davids eyes Juve extension Tuesday 19 August, 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edgar Davids wants to extend his current contract with Italian champions Juventus, according to his agent.
The Dutchman only has a year left on his present deal in Turin but he wants to remain despite interest from Chelsea.
"It is true that the Premiership side made him an offer but he turned them down because he wants to continue at Juventus," Robert Geerlings told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"There is a very real possibility that Edgar will renew his contract with the Bianconeri because that is his desire."
Speculation suggests that the former Ajax man will probably leave the club as talks over a new contract have stalled.
But Geerlings maintains those claims are untrue as contract negotiations have not even begun.
"Davids hasn’t received an offer from Juve as of yet," he continued. "I haven’t been in Turin since April and have not heard from the club since then. I am simply waiting for the call."
However, there is a distinct possibility that the Delle Alpi outfit will release the 30-year-old after the arrival of Stephan Appiah.
The Ghanaian youngster has quickly settled in Turin and has even replaced Davids in the first team so far this pre-season.
