Boum set to join Juventus in £4.5m
Jean Alain Boumsong was in Turin today, hoping to complete a £4.5m transfer to Juventus.
The Newcastle United defender travelled to Italy last night for a medical after earlier in the day training with the rest of Glenn Roeder's first-team squad and then turning down a move to Bundesliga outfit Hamburg.
And having gone this far it seems a good bet that Boumsong will join Juventus who, of course, were relegated to Serie B after a match fixing scandal.
If he does move
it will be a permanent transfer, leaving Freddy Shepherd and Glenn Roeder to reflect on the fact that they did well to keep their nerve and reject overtures from French clubs Lens, Monaco, Bordeaux and Marseille who only wanted to take the 26-year-old defender on a 12-month loan with United also picking up half of his monthly wages of e200,000.
Roeder made it clear just where Boumsong stands in the pecking order when the man Graeme Souness handed £8.5m to Rangers for could not even get onto the substitutes bench for Saturday's Premiership opener with Wigan Athletic at St James' Park.
Indeed Boumsong's last start was in the defeat at Charlton Athletic in March and since then United have won nine and drawn two of the 11 competitive games they have played.
