Juve in fresh Palacio link
Monday 24 December, 2007
Juventus are understood to have reignited their interest in Boca Juniors star man Rodrigo Palacio.
Reports emanating from Argentina are suggesting that the Italian giants are pondering a move for a player who they have tracked for some time.
Palacio had already made his way on to the Old Lady’s transfer wish list during the Luciano Moggi era and it seems that the 25-year-old is back in their thoughts.
The attacking midfielder, who was voted as the third best player during the recent Club World Cup, is highly rated in his homeland and has been close to moving to Europe in the past.
In 2003, he flew to Spain for a trial with Sevilla but on his return to Argentina, Boca had already agreed a fee for his services with hometown club Bella Vista.
It’s also understood that his present club rejected a 2006 bid from Barcelona, as well as snubbed interest from Atletico Madrid.
Palacio would be able to add to Juventus’ fantasy factor with Pavel Nedved coming towards the end of his career and Alex Del Piero no longer assured of first team football.
