Barca zoom in on Zambrotta
Sunday 29 February, 2004
Barcelona are said to be very interested in bringing versatile Juve star Gianluca Zambrotta to the Nou Camp.
Reports in Spain suggest that the issue was raised during negotiations over Edgar Davids’ January switch.
Directors Rosell and Beguiristain were in Turin to work out the final details on Jan 9 when they showed interest in signing the former Bari star.
Zambrotta’s career took an important twist last year when Coach Marcello Lippi switched his position from the right side of midfield that of left-back.
He has since excelled in this new role for both Juventus and the Italian national side, including a fine performance against Barcelona in last season’s Champions’ League.
It is reported that the Blaugrana are willing to offer winger Gabri and Brazilian midfielder Motta as part of the deal.
Zambrotta’s current contract with Juventus expires in 2005, but he is in negotiations to extend for another three years.
If that deal is not sealed before the start of the next campaign, then the club could opt to cash in rather than lose him for free at the end of that season.

Selling Zambrotta would be a huge display of a lack of ambition, and getting Gabri and Motta, no matter how much cash we get, would be robbery on Barca's part. I'll be gutted if we lose Zambro, he's one of the our most important players and has plenty of years of world class football in him.

IMO Makaay is World Class as he showed us before scoring many many goals. He did it again against Real Madrid. He is also doing very well for Bayern and has scored nearly 20 goals already in his first season in Germany
We are lucky that Depor don't have him anymore, if they did, the 1st leg could have been 4-0, taking into account the way we played that game

Kluivert? The same Kluivert who has outscored Cruijff and van Basten by his early twenties for Holland? The one who won the European Cup at 18?
Sure, rubbish.
Van Nistelrooy creative? He holds the ball up brilliantly, but he's a poacher by instinct. And what an instinct. On the weekend, against Fulham, he was only on for a few minutes, but he had one (half-)chance where he was falling over. He twisted awkwardly in the air, and struck the ball sweetly, unfortunately (or fortunately if you prefer a one-sided title race to seeing Man Utd win) into the side of the net. I can't think of another striker who would have connected there.
