Trez barred from Inter bid Sunday 10 June, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has warned David Trezeguet will never join Inter. “There’ll be no more Zlatan Ibrahimovic cases.”
The Nerazzurri have approached Juve with an offer for the want-away Frenchman, who has been unable to reach a deal to extend his contract past 2008.
This week Inter officials were spotted with Trezeguet’s father – who also acts as his agent – sparking reports of negotiations.
However, remembering how vital Ibrahimovic has been to the title-winning campaign, the Bianconeri are reticent to further strengthen their Scudetto rivals.
“When we sold Ibra to Inter, we were in a very strange time in our history. Now we are light years away from that moment,” outlined Cobolli Gigli. “There will be no more cases like Ibrahimovic.”
So if Trezeguet is indeed to leave Turin this summer, it will not be for another Serie A side.
He has offers from Olympique Lyonnais, Marseille and Valencia, not to mention Arsenal and Barcelona.
Meanwhile, the replacement has already been signed, as Udinese confirmed Vincenzo Iaquinta is ready to put pen to paper with Juventus.
“We cannot sell everyone. We have already sold Sulley Ali Muntari and Iaquinta, so we have to focus on the rest of the squad,” said director of sport Pietro Leonardi.
