Gallas looks to Juve
Chelsea’s William Gallas is expected to buy out the rest of his contract in the summer and join Juventus. The 28-year-old French international wants up to £70,000 a week to stay with the Champions, but it appears Chelsea do not rate him that highly. According to reports, Juventus are willing to pay the defender what he wants and also play him in his preferred position of centre-back instead of left back. “I admit it,” said Gallas. “I don't know if I will stay at Chelsea next season. I have six months to make a decision. I am 28 and perhaps now is the time to look elsewhere as I still have another five or six years of my career left.”
