Italian giants go for Ljungberg
Thursday 5 August, 2004
Juventus and Inter could solve their winger worries by making a bid for unsettled Arsenal star Freddie Ljungberg.
The Swede has reportedly told Gunners chiefs that he no longer wishes to be a part of the team and his future would appear to be in the Peninsula.
Both Juve and Inter have been long-term admirers of the international and his services would be of great use to them at this moment in time.
As the Bianconeri and Nerazzurri are battling on the transfer market for a left-sided winger – both Cesar (pictured) of Lazio and Udinese’s Marek Jankulovski are targets – they also look set to clash for the 27-year-old.
Arsenal have placed a £15m price tag on Ljungberg’s head, but that figure could drop considerably if he makes his preference clear.
Juventus would appear to be in the lead, as they had already shown interest in the player over the last couple of campaigns. Also, Inter are far more likely to stick with their bid for Roberto Mancini’s Lazio favourite Cesar.
The Bianconeri’s push for Ljungberg would also affect another Premiership side, as this leaves the path free for Tottenham to pursue Czech international Jankulovski.
