Juve optimistic about Krasic deal
Monday 14 June, 2010
Juventus can afford to be optimistic about signing Milos Krasic from CSKA Moscow, according to FIFA agent Marko Naletilic.
Juventus have asked Naletilic to liaise between them and CSKA in negotiations, which stalled last week when the two parties couldn't agree upon a fee.
CSKA are holding out for €18m and hope to start a bidding war with other interested clubs.
Speaking to Tutto Mercato Web, Naletilic said: “At the moment I am not in Russia or in Italy, but I confirm that I have been in Moscow to negotiate on Juventus' behalf.
“The argument is very simple. There is Manchester City who offer much more money than Juventus and CSKA would prefer to give him to the English club, but the player absolutely doesn't want to go to England. He wants to move to Turin.
“I don't know when we will meet again, it's not in any case a simple situation, but I remain optimistic because if the deal isn't easy for Juventus it isn't for Manchester City either, and in general you can't force the player to go where he doesn't want to go.”
