Juve slam door on Vieri
Juventus have ended any attempt to sign Christian Vieri, but transfer guru Luciano Moggi insists they never entered negotiations.
“At first you must dream,” Moggi told Telelombardia, “and afterwards a dream can evaporate. But we never dreamed of Vieri.”
This is quite a change of tune by the Bianconeri Director General, as throughout the last month he has repeatedly hinted at a swoop for the Inter striker.
However, the Nerazzurri’s refusal to cut the price tag and David Trezeguet’s renewed love for Juventus saw that proposed return collapse.
The arrival of Coach Fabio Capello convinced Trezeguet that he should stay on and not accept a switch to Barcelona.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that Vieri is certain to remain at the San Siro, as he has also been heavily linked with Real Madrid.
Other reports suggest that the Italian international will hold on to his Inter jersey, but Coach Alberto Zaccheroni is packing his bags.
The club raised eyebrows on Friday when they called Zac to their headquarters for an impromptu meeting with directors, but President Giacinto Facchetti insists, “We only discussed pre-season preparations.”
Should Zaccheroni be removed from his post, then the Number One candidate to take over is Lazio’s Roberto Mancini.
