Miccoli opens Juve door
Wednesday 6 December, 2006
Juventus-owned Fabrizio Miccoli admits he could return to Turin – although he now wants to just focus on Benfica.
Miccoli, who was bought by the Bianconeri some years ago, only spent one year at the Delle Alpi in 2003-04 and is currently in his second season on loan to the Portuguese side.
“This summer I extended my contract with Juve until 2010 after I spoke to the new management, who impressed me,” said Miccoli.
“There is a chance that I might return to Turin, although now I only want to concentrate on doing well with Benfica for the rest of the season,” added the former Perugia and Fiorentina striker.
“Serie A? It just isn’t the same this year without Juve, Inter have already won the championship and we aren’t even half way through the campaign,” concluded Miccoli.
In the meantime, Juventus are targeting Lazio midfielder Luciano Zauri, whose contract with the Biancocelesti expires in June 2007.
Zauri is also a reported target for Milan, Inter, Fiorentina and Sampdoria, but whispers suggest the Old Lady are ready to offer him a three-year contract.
The former Atalanta player has made no secret of the fact that he would like to stay in Rome, but contract talks have stalled.
