Juve to decide Miccoli future Friday 15 June, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fabrizio Miccoli’s agent has admitted that his client’s excellent relationship with Juventus may not be enough to see him play his football in Turin next season.
The 27-year-old was expected to be recalled to the club after his two-year Benfica loan spell at the request of new boss Claudio Ranieri, but that may not be the case.
“We are in perfect harmony with Juventus, but the situation is still evolving and we must be very cautious,” said representative Francesco Caliandro to GRT.
“Miccoli has never feared competition for a shirt at any club as he is a striker who can get into double figures and he has proved it over the past four years.”
The 'Romario del Salento’ is a reported target for numerous sides and the Old Lady may still use him as a transfer pawn this summer.
“I am not surprised that there are important clubs interested in him as you just have to take into account his performances last season,” added Caliandro.
“A move to Palermo? They represent an interesting option for many players and that includes Miccoli.”
The Italian international could be included as part of a deal which sees Andrea Barzagli join Juventus from the Stadio Barbera outfit.
Miccoli joined the Bianconeri in 2003, but his relationship with the outfit turned sour after Fabio Capello’s arrival on the bench a year later.
He subsequently moved to Fiorentina in 2004, on loan, where he scored 12 goals in Serie A before transferring to Portugal in 2005
