Marotta: 'Juve dream of Dzeko’
Wednesday 21 July, 2010
Juventus’ general manager Beppe Marotta has revealed that he dreams of signing Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko, although he admits that it will be difficult.
The Bianconeri have made no secret of their pursuit of Dzeko who is arguably the most in-demand centre-forward in Europe at the moment.
This morning’s Tuttosport claims that Wolfsburg director general Dieter Hoeness has put Dzeko up for sale, as the player wants to leave.
Manchester City are almost certain to return with another bid, although they have recently turned their attention to Inter striker Mario Balotelli.
Interviewed in this morning’s Il Corriere dello Sport, Marotta was asked if Juventus held out any hope of signing Dzeko.
“It’s a dream that isn’t over, an objective that we will follow for as long as possible, though conscious of the enormous difficulties involved.
“Wolfsburg’s asking price is high and the competition have greater resources. But it’s nice that Dzeko expressed his pleasure at the prospect of Juventus being an eventual destination. It means that the appeal is still strong.”
Reflecting on Juventus’ transfer strategy as a whole, Marotta said: “I can confirm that there are two priorities: a left-back and a right winger. The others are linked to parallel operations.
“It’s no longer the time to spend crazy amounts of money. Purchasing power must be equal to turnover and besides the Messis and Cristiano Ronaldos aren’t accessible to Italian clubs.
“After a disappointing season, it was fundamental to restore enthusiasm to the fans. Our work has only just begun, but they have learnt to trust us.”
Marotta then responded to criticism that Juventus’ signings have so far been relatively lacklustre.
“We only have to look back at Juventus’ history to erase certain prejudices: champions uncovered at little clubs who became great in Turin wrote it. Anastasi and Gentile came to light at Varese, Prandelli and Cabrini at Cremonese and Atalanta, Conte came through at Lecce and Ravanelli had surprised at Reggiana.
“We want to refresh that tradition again.”
