Trez certain of Juve stay
Thursday 9 June, 2005
David Trezeguet has shot down reports that Juventus will cash in on him during the summer.
Whispers have suggested that the player could be sacrificed to help finance a move for either Roma’s Antonio Cassano or Alberto Gilardino of Parma.
But the former Monaco ace, who has endured an injury plagued campaign at the Delle Alpi this term, insists his future is black and white.
"I want to remain at this club in order to win the Champions’ League," he stated. "I’m staying, staying, staying.
"All these voices surrounding my future are rubbish. There are no discussions to sell me, it’s only you journalists who believe otherwise."
Trezeguet signed a new contract with the Bianconeri last summer and he insists he wants to win more silverware in Turin.
"Juventus are the best there is," he continued. "Why should I leave? I’m thinking about the European Cup.
"We were a little unfortunate this season and we need to give that little bit extra in the next campaign.
"However, I’m sure that the club will look to build an even stronger squad, more competitive than the current group."
One of those new additions could be Andrea Barzagli, an Italian central defender who is excelling at Palermo.
"I’m hearing voices about Juventus’ interest in me but they are not necessarily true," stated the 24-year-old stopper.
"Would I like to join a big club? I’m already at a big club – I play for Palermo!"
Juve transfer chief Luciano Moggi is also giving little away in stories that the club want to sign Reggina playmaker Mozart.
"We like Mozart," he admitted. "However, we also like Beethoven…"
