Juventus snap up Grygera
Wednesday 10 January, 2007
Ajax defender Zdenek Grygera will wear the Juventus jersey next season, the Dutch club’s technical director has confirmed.
The Czech international’s contract with the outfit expires in June and he was paired with a move to Italy, with Inter apparently making a late bid to snatch him from Juve’s grasp.
But it seems that the Old Lady of Italian football have won the race to net the full-back on a free transfer.
“Juventus have behaved correctly with us and informed us officially that they have signed the player for the next season,” said Martin Van Geel to the newspaper De Telegraaf.
“We have not discussed the option of him moving in January, but if the Bianconeri were interested in this opportunity then we would be willing to discuss the possibility of finding a financial agreement.”
The 26-year-old, who is considered a key player by national boss Karel Bruckner, had insisted that Juve were his first option given the presence of fellow countryman Pavel Nedved.
“He’s a great player and if he decided to come here then I would be happy as he’s a very good defender,” Nedved said yesterday.
“He can play on the left, on the right and in the middle which is a real advantage in modern football.”
