Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli assures they can challenge for a top four finish in their first season back in Serie A, but refuses to confirm Gigi Buffon.
“To talk about the Scudetto immediately would be presumptuous, especially as you always need a bit of luck to win the League. In any case, we will certainly turn up the pressure on the top teams,” said the patron.
The Bianconeri are leading Serie B despite their nine-point Calciopoli penalty and are set for an immediate return to the top flight.
They have already strengthened their squad for next season with Zdenek Grygera of Ajax and Bayern Munich midfielder Hasan Salihamidzic snapped up on free transfers.
“Grygera and Salihamidzic are very significant signs of what we intend to achieve. Qualification for the Champions League will be one of our targets.”
However, question marks remain over whether star players David Trezeguet, Mauro Camoranesi and Buffon will agree to stay on.
“Buffon is a free man, so he is free to express his thoughts and opinions. In any case, between us there remains a cordial rapport.
“Gigi, like all our other players, knows we are working on two things – a return to Serie A and a squad that will do well. This means it must be in a position to ensure our champions are enjoying their football,” added Cobolli Gigli.<br><br>Source: Channel 4
