Sociedad plot Tudor swoop Wednesday 26 January, 2005
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real Sociedad are the latest club to be associated with a move for Juventus defender Igor Tudor.
The Spanish outfit have allegedly made the Turin giants a tempting bid that they are ready to accept.
Although the club earlier suggested that Tudor would remain, after the departures of Mark Iuliano and Nicola Legrottaglie, that may no longer be the case.
Tudor is not a regular fixture in the Delle Alpi side and he’s eager for first team football elsewhere.
It’s also believed that Middlesbrough and Portsmouth are very interested in the versatile Croatian international.
Tudor’s club teammate Stephen Appiah is also a wanted man before the January transfer window closes.
Brescia have asked Juve to loan them the midfielder for the rest of the season as they look to escape relegation.
The Ghanaian, who already played for the Rigamonti outfit during the 2002-03 campaign, is likely to remain in Turin though.
Meanwhile, Palermo have sold Ernesto Antonio Farias to River Plate. The Argentine striker only arrived in Italy over the summer.
