Barzagli set for Juve switch?
Monday 23 October, 2006
Palermo could sell defender Andrea Barzagli to Juventus at the end of the season, according to Rosanero chief Maurizio Zamparini.
The world champion was initially linked with a move to Turin last year, and the Bianconeri were again keen on securing the services of the 25-year-old during the summer.
“Juve asked us for Barzagli in the last few hours before the transfer window closed, but we had already decided to keep him for another year,” confirmed Zamparini to Il Corriere dello Sport.
“Therefore we told the Bianconeri that the deal couldn’t be finalised, but we will talk again next summer.
“We are not considering a January sale, as Barzagli is much more useful to us than to them.
“I am confident that we can close the negotiation in June, but it is obvious that certain conditions must be respected.
“We cannot forget that the player is contracted to Palermo until 2010,” concluded Zamparini.
Barzagli, a former Ascoli and Chievo man, landed in Sicily in 2004 and has since then played 79 matches with the Rosanero outfit, scoring three goals.
Palermo joined Inter on top of the table after their historic 2-0 victory against Milan on Sunday night and will play Messina at the Stadio Barbera in Wednesday’s midweek round.

Barzagli Today:
"Moving to Juventus? Why? The bianconeri club is without doubt a big club but I yet to receive any proposal from them and therefore I can't speak about the whole case. I find myself well in Palermo. The environment is fantastic and now we became a big squad. At this moment, I would not change clubs for any reason".
