Legrottaglie set for exit

Nicola Legrottaglie’s Juventus nightmare could be on the verge of coming to an end.
The central defender arrived at the Delle Alpi at the start of the 2003-04 season with high expectations.
But the stopper struggled badly in his first season with the Bianconeri and he now doesn’t seem a part of Fabio Capello’s plans.
The former Chievo ace, who has also lost his international place, can’t force his way into the side.
Capello’s first choice rearguard so far is Zebina, Cannavaro, Thuram and Zambrotta, with Igor Tudor seemingly next in line for a centre back shirt.
Now a January move beckons for the 28-year-old with the Stadio Olimpico set to be his next home.
Lazio have been linked in a possible deal that could see either Massimo Oddo or Simone Inzaghi move to Turin.
However, there is also talk that Roma – who missed out on him two years ago – could make a bid.
The Giallorossi have been disastrous in defence so far this term and boss Gigi Del Neri knows the player well after their time together at Chievo.
