Nedved Set For One-Year Extension
Juventus veteran Pavel Nedved is set to sign a one-year extension at the Stadio Olimpico, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 35-year-old’s contract in Turin runs out at the end of the season, but his fine form in recent months has led to calls that he extends his deal for another year.
This now appears almost certain to happen, as the player wants to have one last crack at the Champions League before he retires.
Nedved, who will turn 36 in August, was the Juventus player who dragged his team all the way to the 2003 final.
However he was suspended for the showpiece at Old Trafford against Milan after heartbreakingly picking up a yellow card in the closing stages of the semi-final second leg win over Real Madrid.
Meanwhile in other news, midfield flop Tiago Mendes is certain to be offloaded at the end of the season.
The Juventus hierarchy have finally realised that the player cannot adapt to Claudio Ranieri’s 4-4-2 formation, and a possible transfer to Tottenham Hotspur could be resurrected.
Finally Juve sporting director Alessio Secco is continuing to work hard to find a new first-choice left back for next season.
Reggina’s Francesco Modesto 
and Udinese’s Andrea Dossena remain the two favourites.
