D'Agostino: Juve, I'm ready
Sunday 7 June, 2009
Gaetano D’Agostino confirms he is on the verge of signing for Juventus within the next couple of days.
“I said I wanted a big club and Juve are among the biggest,” smiled the Udinese midfielder.
The 27-year-old made his senior international debut in Italy’s 3-0 victory over Northern Ireland last night.
New Bianconeri Coach Ciro Ferrara was Marcello Lippi’s assistant manager until Friday, when he received the call from Turin and left the training camp.
“When Ferrara left the other day, he winked at me as he went out the door,” revealed D’Agostino.
Udinese are not so certain they want to release their star midfielder, having valued him at £28m.
President Giampaolo Pozzo has requested “two out of these players in exchange: Sebastian Giovinco, Claudio Marchisio and Paolo De Ceglie.”
Although Giovinco is unlikely to be released, the other two youth products are potentially on the market.
