Lampard To Juve ??? I Doubt (5 Viewers)
- Thread starter Baggy20M
- Start date
Italian giants Juventus are being linked with an unlikely £12m move for Chelsea star Frank Lampard.
Reports in Italy and England are claiming that the England midfielder is wanted in Turin after the arrival of Claudio Ranieri as Juve boss.
The latter signed Lampard for £11m in 2001 from West Ham while Blues boss and he’s eager to link up with the player again.
However, although Lampard’s future in London is in some doubt, it seems as though he will only remain a dream for Ranieri and Juventus.
The Old Lady only have limited funds available for the transfer market despite a recent cash injection of £71m.
As a result, a £12m bid for Lampard would be rejected by the London club who seem to have no intention of selling anyway.
The player’s wages would also pose a problem with recent whispers suggesting that the Englishman has already snubbed a new £140,000 a week deal to extend his current contract which expires in 2009.
Those sorts of figures are just too much for the Bianconeri who are still feeling the financial effects of Calciopoli.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have also pulled out of the 'race’ to sign Lampard as confirmed by sporting director Txiki Beguiristain.

i dont think Lampard would be a wise buy for juve.For one he needs a system built around him to excell.someone to do all the defensive work for him so he can lurk around the box and not think of defensive duties.I think it would be a gamble to build your system around a player like Lampard who will most likely flop in Italy.IMo as long as Juve keep their best players(Trez,Buffon,Camo) and get rid of average players like Balzaretti,Boumsong etc.then all you guys need is some creativity in midfield.something Lampard wont offer.
