Juve’s Vieri Bid Stalls
Christian Vieri’s transfer from Inter to Juventus may take longer than expected after a number of problems developed.
The Italian media were convinced that a deal was done but Vieri has allegedly rejected Juve’s initial offer.
The Turin giants have offered the striker a four-year contract worth £2.8m a season. However, he currently nets £5m at Inter and he still has two years left in Milan.
Juventus don’t really want to increase their bid but they may be forced to if they want to net the 31-year-old.
However, it is also understood that the two clubs have yet to finalise definite terms on a transfer.
Inter have agreed to take Marco Di Vaio from Turin as part of the deal and the player has given his consent to the move.
But the Nerazzurri also want another player, reported to be Lilian Thuram or Manuele Blasi.
Yet Juve seem ready to offer only Enzo Maresca, who wouldn’t be needed by Inter after the capture of Juan Veron, and Uruguayan international ‘keeper Fabian Carini.
Meanwhile, stories on Friday also claim that the two clubs are working on another swap deal.
Inter defender Marco Materazzi could be heading to the Delle Alpi in a move that sees Mark Iuliano go in the other direction.
