Udinese set Jankulovski price Sunday 4 July, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clubs interested in signing Marek Jankulovski will have to pay out almost £7m to tempt him away from the Stadio Friuli.
The Czech international attracted plenty of attention during his Euro 2004 campaign, particularly his impressive display in the 1-0 semi-final defeat to Greece.
Juventus have been tracking the versatile player for some time, but as yet no deal has been concluded, so a bidding war could break out.
Premiership sides are also said to be interested, while there are also offers from Spain and Germany.
The Bianconeri remain his favoured destination, where he would join up with fellow countryman Pavel Nedved.
It’s believed Juve have offered £2.5m plus co-ownership of Matteo Brighi, but Udinese have requested £3m plus Messina fullback Alessandro Parisi.
Meanwhile, Jankulovski isn’t the only Udinese player to have used Euro 2004 to entice foreign clubs into a move.
Danish international Martin Jorgensen impressed enough to attract interest from Premiership outfits including Manchester City and Tottenham.
David Pizarro was not part of the European tournament, but it’s well known he’ll leave Udine this summer. After interest from Inter and Juventus waned, the Chilean playmaker has now been linked with Barcelona.
