Barca "must double" Trez bid
Sunday 6 June, 2004
Juve transfer guru Luciano Moggi admits David Trezeguet has a deal with Barcelona, but the Spaniards must double their current cash offer.
“They are offering us £6.6m,” revealed the Director General, “and we want at least £13m, so right now the negotiations are at a standstill. Trezeguet already has an agreement with Barca, but we’ll only sell him on our terms.”
The rapport between Trezeguet and Juventus has been deteriorating for several months and his contract, which expires in 2005, has not been renewed.
The Frenchman was furious that his wages were not taken to the same level as captain Alessandro Del Piero, while the club considered his many injuries and disappointing work rate to be a problem.
“Juve gave me their word and cannot act in this manner,” Trezeguet had told a newspaper last week. “To replace me they need to find a striker who can score 20 goals a season, and that isn’t so easy nowadays.”
New Coach Fabio Capello would prefer a stronger English-style centre-forward for his system and they are in talks to bring back Christian Vieri from Inter.
Meanwhile, it is well known that Trezeguet has reached a basic agreement with Barcelona for a four-year contract worth £2m a season, plus bonus payments for success in the Liga, Champions’ League and Copa del Rey.
