Capello pushes for Pizarro Saturday 2 July, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Pizarro’s dream of joining Roma has fallen through, so Juventus have intercepted with a new offer for the Chilean.
The Giallorossi were preparing to sign the Udinese midfielder, but they are banned from buying any players for the next year as a result of the Philippe Mexes transfer saga.
Pizarro has made it clear on numerous occasions that he does not wish to stay at the Stadio Friuli for another campaign, but the embargo has ruled out his number one destination.
Juventus have been alerted to the matter and reportedly lodged a new offer of cash plus either Croatian defender Igor Tudor or former Fiorentina man Enzo Maresca.
Coach Fabio Capello has pin-pointed Pizarro as the man who can bring creativity to the Bianconeri midfield and is an alternative to Arsenal’s Robert Pires.
Some of the money for this move could be raised by selling Stephen Appiah to Middlesbrough. It has been reported that director Keith Lamb visited Turin this week to discuss a £2m bid for the Ghanaian.
It would be Appiah’s first European club outside of Italy, as in his career he has played for Udinese, Parma, Brescia and Juve
