Juve close in on Marek Tuesday 17 August, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Udinese’s Marek Jankulovski could finally become a Juventus player by the end of this week.
The Czech ace has been associated with the giants for some time and a deal is reportedly on the verge of completion.
Jankulovski has admitted that he would have no objection to a Turin switch but talks have been difficult.
It may have taken some time but a fee is believed to have been ironed out between the two clubs.
The Bianconeri will hand over around £3.5m plus the services of U-21 international stopper Giorgio Chiellini.
The latter, currently at the Olympics, was only acquired this summer from newly promoted Livorno.
Juve turned their attention to the left-sided midfielder after Lazio’s Cesar indicated that he would prefer a move to Inter rather than the Delle Alpi.
However, Lazio have today warned that they have no intention of giving away the Brazilian ace.
"I want six quality players for Cesar, otherwise nothing will happen," stated Lazio chief Claudio Lotito.
