Iuliano set for CSKA
Monday 22 November, 2004
Russian giants CSKA Moscow have reportedly made a bid for Juventus stopper Mark Iuliano.
CSKA are understood to have offered around £2m for the stopper, 31, who is actually out of contract in the summer.
Iuliano, who rarely features for the Bianconeri, could be tempted by a £1.5m a season contract.
The Turin giants seem to have too many centre-backs in their squad and are keen to offload a few players in January.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Zebina is expected to return to the line-up for Tuesday’s Champions’ League game against Ajax.
The right-back has been sidelined with a muscle problem but will be back in action at the Delle Alpi.
Juve are expected to field a host of reserves though given that they have already qualified for the knock-out stages.
Alex Del Piero, Lilian Thuram, Fabio Cannavaro, Mauro Camoranesi and Emerson are all expected to be rested ahead of Sunday’s trip to Inter.
