Mavuba reveals Juventus dream Tuesday 14 November, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bordeaux midfielder Rio Mavuba has admitted that joining a club like Juventus has always been a dream.
The 20-year-old, who was born on a boat in international waters off the Angolan coast, is considered as the new Jean Tigana and has played in 108 games for the Girondins since his 2003 arrival.
“Juventus are the club of my dreams, although I would also enjoy playing in a side like Arsenal or Real Madrid,” declared the Frenchman.
“In any case, I would like to experience a spell with a foreign club, but not immediately,” added the youngster.
Juve Coach Didier Deschamps considers the player highly and the Bianconeri could make a move in the future.
Juventus legend Michel Platini is also a big fan of the international who is currently valued at £6.5m.
Meanwhile, Juve have suffered another injury blow after David Trezeguet joined Alex Del Piero in the treatment room.
The striker is struggling with a muscle problem and missed training again on Tuesday which means he may be out of the Albinoleffe tie on Saturday. Marcelo Zalayeta is also a doubt.
