So we might ends up with Abbiati if we demoted...
Abbiati open to Plan B Thursday 8 June, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christian Abbiati is ready to stay at Juventus next season even if they find themselves in Serie B, his agent has revealed.
The goalkeeper was set to return to Milan after spending last term on loan in Turin, but the Calciopoli scandal – which Juve are at the centre of – may see a change of plan.
“Abbiati would accept a Juventus move, even if it meant Serie B,” Vincenzo Morabito told Radio Flash Piu on Thursday.
“After all, it would probably only be for a year after which they would rightly be in the Division best suited for them.
“I would have to recommend such a move to a player. At this moment in time Abbiati is a Milan man, but we’ll have to see how things develop.”
Abbiati initially arrived at the club after Gigi Buffon required shoulder surgery and Morabito feels that the Azzurri No 1 may be coming to the end of his Old Lady stint.
“If Juventus are relegated, I don’t know whether they would be able to keep Buffon as the first choice,” he added.
“We’ll see what happens. Unfortunately the transfer market, and subsequently Christian’s future, will be guided by what happens off the pitch.
“We’ll now just have to wait until the sporting justice system has delivered its verdicts.”
