Parma admit Bonera interest Friday 7 January, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parma have revealed that Juventus are interested in signing versatile defender Daniele Bonera.
"It is true that they want the player," general manager Luca Baraldi told Tuttosport. "They’ve been chasing him for some time."
The 23-year-old has been linked with the big three of Italian football – Juve, Inter and Milan – for the last two seasons.
The former Brescia player, now a full international, is liked given that he can play both as a right-back and a centre-half.
It’s unclear how much Bonera will cost but Baraldi suggested that a player plus cash deal could be agreed.
"We like Mark Iuliano and Nicola Legrottaglie but Juve know that we can’t pay certain wages," he continued. "I hope that good sense prevails and that we can strike a deal."
Both men could move to the Tardini in January, with the former U-21 international captain heading to Turin in the summer.
Meanwhile, Parma have confirmed that the club has been put up for sale. "It is true," commented President Guido Angiolini. "But there is no time limit involved."
IMO Bonera would be a good buy! he is quiet young and could learn a lot from Canna and Thuram! also he can play as central defender or on the side!
I would give them Iuliano in exchange and maybe a young Primavera player!
Because i also heard that we may give them Roj Volpato that he could develop at Parma!
anyway we will see!
