Morientes calls Capello
Saturday 20 November, 2004
Fernando Morientes and Santiago Solari look set to leave Real Madrid for Serie A shores, possibly as early as January.
The Spanish international has long been linked with Italian clubs, above all Roma and Juventus, and he admits the move is a possibility.
“There is no room at Real for me,” said Morientes. “I want to play in Italy and still don’t understand why my proposed switch to Roma fell through.”
The Giallorossi had been in advanced negotiations with the experienced forward in the summer, but the departure of Fabio Capello pushed the club towards other targets.
Capello has never disguised his admiration for Morientes and would certainly appreciate his arrival at the Stadio Delle Alpi, where Juventus are looking for a new forward after David Trezeguet’s injuries.
“I don’t cause problems for Madrid, but when I answer my critics with goals I always seem to end up back on the bench,” added the forward. “I know my own worth and want to play regularly. I wish I’d never left Monaco now.”
Morientes isn’t the only star preparing to leave the Bernabeu, as Santiago Solari is heading for the San Siro next summer.
His contract expires in July and the Argentine – who rejected Inter’s terms when the deal had already been done two years ago – is a target for both Milan and the Nerazzurri.
