Juve have to sell to buy
by Patrick Goss - created on 12 Jun 2005
Juventus will have to sell off their top players if they want to buy this summer, according to general manager Luciano Moggi.
Juve have already moved to snap up players for the coming season - the most controversial of which is Adriano Mutu who was sacked by Chelsea.
Moggi, who continues to insist that star man David Trezeguet will not be leaving the club, has admitted that the coffers are drained and high-profile links to likes of Alberto Gilardino are wide of the mark.
"We have signed Giuliano Giannichedda, [Robert] Kovac and Mutu so far in advance that people won't think about them," said Moggi.
"Is there money to spend? There sincerely is not.
"To buy we must sell, but Trezeguet is priceless and not for sale. Only those over the age of 30 will leave.
"Why have we missed out on Gilardino? Because Parma did not put him on the market.
"The current ownership told us they would inform us and now his sale will depend on the new owners.
"We have an option him but we won't use it."
