Official: Trez signs for Hercules
Saturday 28 August, 2010
David Trezeguet is officially no longer a Juventus player after signing for newly-promoted Spaniards Hercules Alicante.
The Frenchman ends a 10-year tenure in Turin and turned down more prestigious clubs in order to move to his wife's home town.
Hercules made the news official this evening and will pay him €1.5m per season on a two-year contract.
Trezeguet did earn €4.5m at Juventus, but the Italians will continue to pay the rest for the remaining year of his current deal.
Juventus will probably only make an official announcement on Monday, when the stock exchange re-opens.

If this is true, than we are goddamn retarded. We let him go for free so we save up 1.5 million? Better to have kept him this one more year, he probably would have outscored those who would play ahead of him.
