Nedved 'snubbed' by Juve
There are reports Pavel Nedved walked out on Juventus after he was only offered a pay-as-you-play contract.
The Czech midfielder announced today’s game with Lazio will be his last in a Bianconeri jersey, but that does not mean he will be quitting football.
The situation surprised fans, who now blame the directors for failing to offer the legend an adequate incentive to continue.
Nedved had said he was going to retire this season, but was ready to change his mind after performing well throughout.
According to the Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport, the midfielder feels he was 'mistreated’ by the club.
Negotiations over a renewal over the last two days only came to an offer of a pay-as-you-play contract and he discovered Juventus had already bought a celebratory page in a newspaper wishing him well.
The fans were already angry with the administration over the decision to bring back Fabio Cannavaro on a £2m per season deal.
It is suggested today’s game with Lazio will see the fans react angrily and show their 'solidarity’ with Nedved.
There are even reports that the veteran is facing his future, as Lazio may welcome Pavel with open arms for next season.
