Juve extend Miccoli deal Thursday 23 November, 2006

Juventus have extended Fabrizio Miccoli’s contract until 2010, confirmed sporting director Alessio Secco.
The striker, currently on loan to Benfica, scored an impressive brace in the Champions League 3-1 win over Copenhagen on Tuesday.
“That is why we renewed his contract until 2010,” said Secco to Tuttosport, adding that the agreement was finalised a few months ago.
Miccoli, who joined the Bianconeri in 2003, did not have an easy time with the Turin outfit, as his relationship with Coach Fabio Capello soon turned sour and he was excluded from the starting line-up.
He then moved to Fiorentina in 2004 on loan, scoring 12 goals in Serie A before transferring to Portugal in 2005 again on a loan deal, which included a £3.5m buy-out clause.
“I like it here in Lisbona, I have adapted well to the lifestyle and the football they play here. And people love me,” said Miccoli.
“I don’t think this the right moment to talk about my future, but the fact is that I am owned by Juve,” added the 27-year-old.
“Against Compenhagen it was very important to put on a good show and get a good result and I hope we can continue to play like we did tonight.”

Wow I can't believe Miccoli signed extension with us after all the bad mouthing he made on us. I guess muchas dineros speak the volume of the man.
BTW, I think Miccoli is one good player for us and good replacement to have on the bench. But I ll take 3.5m and Palladino if Benfica exercises the option.

Perhaps Benfica is paying 100% of his salary + Loan fee?
Perhaps the contract extension gives us more time to sell Miccoli for money.
I dont know for sure but if I were the Juve board, I would welcome him back on the team.
I just dont know why Miccoli choose to sign, I guess its just guarentee for money, he certainly isnt guarenteed playing time, or is he?
