Mutu nets Juve deal?
Tuesday 28 December, 2004
Adrian Mutu has signed a pre-contract agreement with Juventus, according to reports in Romania.
The forward is currently suspended and without a club after he tested positive for cocaine earlier this season.
However, the 'Gazeta Sportuliror' newspaper claims that the Italian outfit have offered him a fresh start after Chelsea sacked him.
Mutu, who is available for nothing, has been strongly associated with a switch to Turin in the past and a deal seems to be on the horizon.
It is claimed that Juve have already wrapped up a deal for the international in a bid to beat the competition.
Although Mutu did fail a drugs test, he still has many admirers in the game after his impressive spells at Verona and Parma.
Roma, Fiorentina and Palermo are other Italian clubs keeping an eye on his situation.
Should Mutu move in at the Stadio Delle Alpi then Fabrizio Miccoli is likely to remain at Fiorentina.
The Italian joined the Viola in the summer after Juventus opted to keep the faith with Alex Del Piero.
