Palermo tempt Tevez
Saturday 28 August, 2004
Newly promoted Palermo are planning to splash some more cash with an audacious bid for Argentine hitman Carlos Tevez.
The talented Boca Juniors striker hit the headlines this month with his eight goals – including the Final winner – that earned his country the Gold medal in the Olympics football event.
Previously linked with Milan and Juventus, 20-year-old Tevez is available for just £13.3m and a deal could be done before the transfer deadline.
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini is eager to get in one more striker to partner Luca Toni and the pacey Tevez would suit his tactical requirements.
Zamparini had been in negotiations with Lecce’s Javier Ernesto Chevanton before his move to Monaco and Tevez is considered a more glamorous alternative.
Meanwhile, the Sicilians have officially signed Piacenza goalkeeper Matteo Guardalben on a three-year contract. He could make his debut in the mini-tournament against Sampdoria and Olympiakos on Sunday evening.
“The pre-season training went well and this side is ready to get out there,” commented Coach Francesco Guidolin. “Now we need to do some dress rehearsals before the start of the Serie A season, which means not many substitutions and forgetting these games are friendlies.”
