New Cafu snubbed Juve
Thursday 19 February, 2004
Unconfirmed reports claim that Juventus failed in a January bid to sign a Brazilian defender dubbed the ‘New Cafu’.
Stories suggest that the Bianconeri offered Seville £3m for Daniel Alves but that was rejected by the Spaniards.
Alves, captain of the Under-20 Brazilian national side, was seen as a future replacement for the ageing Lilian Thuram.
The Turin giants could make a new approach in the summer but their chances of success are slim given the latest developments.
Since the alleged bid was tabled, the attacking right-back has extended his contract with the Liga club until 2008.
He's worth more that that IMO if that report is true wich I think is not.
