Mancini ‘wants’ Juventus switch Wednesday 6 July, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amantino Mancini’s former agent believes that the midfielder will leave Roma for Juventus this summer.
Alemao, an ex-Napoli player, made the admission to the Romanista newspaper on Wednesday.
"He left me in order to join Juventus," said the Brazilian after losing his client to Gilmar Veloz, who is also Emerson’s representative.
Mancini is a right-winger who enjoyed his best season in Italy two years ago under boss Fabio Capello.
The latter left the Italian capital for Turin last summer, bringing Emerson and Jonathan Zebina with him to the Delle Alpi.
The Bianconeri are also believed to be very keen on making a summer bid for Roma’s Antonio Cassano.
That may open the door for Roma to sign Udinese midfielder David Pizarro, because of the influx of cash, if their transfer ban is lifted later this week.
The Chilean playmaker wants a move and a split seems close after he failed to turn up for pre-season training in Udine this morning.
In other transfer news, Inter have loaned former Under-21 left-back Giovanni Pasquale to Parma.
