I also read the Falcao article, and now this: http://www1.skysports.com/football/...lose-to-joining-juventus-in-new-autobiography

So, he chased Suarez in 2012 summer and this summer Falcao. I really hope he get a really big fish next summer, he deserves it. Need to prove he can sign a really big star.

Juve to 'release Zaza or Gabbiadini'

Juventus “could well release” one from Simone Zaza and Manolo Gabbiadini, confirmed Beppe Marotta.

The Bianconeri co-own or loan out many of Serie A’s most promising young players, just as they did with Ciro Immobile before he was sold to Borussia Dortmund this summer.

Zaza is currently impressing at Sassuolo and has become a regular in Antonio Conte’s Italy side, while Gabbiadini also earned a call-up thanks to his Sampdoria form.

“We know these are expensive deals, so we will have to make some choices. For example, we could well release one from Zaza and Gabbiadini,” general manager Marotta told Tuttosport.

There are also contract renewals to be discussed with Sebastian Giovinco, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Carlos Tevez.

“We had contact with Giovinco’s agent to see if it’s possible to renew on our terms. If we do, good, otherwise... Giovinco has to tell us what he wants.

“Torino? We have not received any offers from Torino for Giovinco, not even over the summer.

“The same goes for Lichtsteiner, as we are negotiating, but do not want to go outside our parameters.”

Tevez has become a key figure for Juventus and his goals earned him an Argentina recall after three years.

“He is one of the best strikers in the world. As long as he wants to stay, the doors will be open.”

Marotta: 'Insults just fire Juve up'

Beppe Marotta reveals just how badly Juventus greeted Max Allegri and told Roma that controversy “only fires us up more.”

The Bianconeri are three points clear at the top of the table and the introduction of Allegri’s 4-3-2-1 system has so far proved very successful, but at the start fans were furious.

“When we first drove into the Vinovo training ground, the car containing President Agnelli, Allegri and I was kicked and spat at. These things are accepted, they are part of the sport,” general manager Marotta told Tuttosport.

“It was normal Allegri would find initial difficulties, but he has trained everywhere and knows how to deal with complicated moments.

“Everyone here wants Allegri to stay for as long as possible.”

The Scudetto race is against Roma and Marotta shrugged off the controversy over refereeing errors.

“Roma are certainly stronger than last season, but Juve are more confident of their capabilities too. We have both grown, even if we haven’t created any major gap with the rest of the League.

“Insinuations about Juve? These are clichés that the Bianconeri have learned to live with. Even when I was a child people said Juve stole, but the strength of the club is in its trophy cabinet.

“Both in Italy, where the club is improperly accused of stealing, and all over the world where that attitude never existed.

“The truth is that at this point the insinuations only fire us up more.”

The club that most stoked the fires of controversy was Inter, who were awarded the 2005-06 Scudetto during the Calciopoli scandal.

Their Coach at that time, Roberto Mancini, has now returned to replace Walter Mazzarri at San Siro.

“I did not expect Mazzarri to be fired right now,” confessed Marotta. “The timing of it surprised me, but we are not affected by it.”

Marotta: 'Buffon, Chiellini, Vidal, Pogba'

Beppe Marotta reveals Gigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini rejected overseas moves, plus how Juventus kept Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba.

The general manager sat down with Tuttosport newspaper for a lengthy interview, covering such subjects as their Champions League struggles and resisting big money offers.

“The problem is that, apart from a few exceptions like Atletico Madrid, the rule is that the top Champions League places go to clubs with huge revenues. Today’s Bayern Munich, in my view, are simply unbeatable.

“We want to put ourselves in a stable position among the top eight European clubs. At the moment that’s all that matters.”

Despite the lack of funds compared to other countries, many stars are still eager to remain in Turin.

“When Buffon renewed his contract, he had a wage proposal from a foreign club worth €10m net! Gigi actually cut his wages to continue with us.

“The same is true of Chiellini, who over the summer had the opportunity to go abroad with a substantial contract, but decided to renew with us.”

Vidal was repeatedly linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid, but the Chile international also remained in Turin.

“We didn’t want to give Vidal to Manchester United, end of story,” continued Marotta. “Besides, our rapport with his agent Fernando Felicevich is good.

“As for Pogba, we have just renewed his contract. He was on very small wages and so we improved his salary.

“It always depends on the player: if Pogba and Vidal are happy to stay, then we will keep them.”

There are reports over January reinforcements, but Marotta warns it’s about quality, not quantity.

“If there are players who can increase the quality of the squad, then we will consider them, but there’s nothing to say that promise will be a guarantee.

“It’s not easy to find players worthy of Juve and we don’t want to become some refuge for any old out of contract figure.

“Having said all that, Dani Alves is certainly a very good player.”

Juve have been consistently linked with 31-year-old right-back Dani Alves, whose Barcelona contract expires at the end of the season.

didnt we already "release" Zaza? he is now fully owned by Sassuolo but we have a buy back clause so we cant release him.

I'm assuming he means we wont exercise our right to the buy back or we will sell Gabbiadini.

what does the agreement about Zaza say. does the buy back clause have a time limit like the one with Morata where we would have to buy him within 2-3 years or is it a permanent one where we can activate the clause whenever we want? i cant remember reading anything like "the clause can be activated in the next 2-3 years" or something similar...

i don´t remember an official statement but afair di marzio said: 15mio next summer, 18mio the summer after

 

[zizinho]

so it is unlikely that we will get him. i think we didnt have the intention to buy him back to play for us in the first place and that the clause was inserted so we can buy him back and sell him right away if his price goes up to the 30M range or so

Yea frzl is correct and that is probably what Juve were thinking.

 

[FuriaCeca]

Zaza is nothing special, just like Immobile. Gabbiadini and berardi might have something in them. Yet they might fail like most of the italian young prospects of recent years. If I had to bet on one of them it would be berardi, mainly because he is the youngest.

It's not about being the youngest but IMO he's a smart player. If he's not scoring or assisting he's still their main creative engine.

Gabbiadini looks better than Zaza as the latter is a strong poacher but not too good on the ball.

 

[Hydde]

Zaza is the classical CF of old with physical presence.

What we need is more teeth on the wings. I would go wih berardi and gabbia too.
