Sagnol close to decision
Thursday 24 November, 2005
Bayern Munich right-back Willy Sagnol, linked with a move to Juventus, says he will make an announcement on his future within the next two weeks.
The France international's current contract with the Bundesliga giants expires in June 2006 and Juve appear to be first in the queue to secure his services, with Manchester United and Valencia also interested.
"I will announce my decision in a week or two. There is obviously a strong link with one club," he declared, although he did not specify which team he meant.
The Italian champions seem to be hot favourites to sign the 28-year-old, though, after Bayern general director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently expressed his fear that the Serie A leaders could lure him away.
And, at the start of this week, Juve director general Luciano Moggi made it clear his club hope to snare the former Monaco defender.
"Sagnol is an excellent defender, one who interests us. However, we still haven’t signed him yet," he said.
