Ibra & Emo staying, insist Juve Monday 23 May, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Italian champions Juventus have warned Real Madrid to forget about making bids for Emerson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Both players have been linked with moves to the Spanish giants but the Bianconeri insist they will not be sacrificed at any price.
"Turin is not a good place to come and try to strengthen your team," transfer guru Luciano Moggi stated.
"There are no problems with Zlatan or Emerson. They have no desire to leave and they will stay with us."
Real apparently made a £48m bid for the Swede last week, while the Spanish media are convinced that the Brazilian wants a move to La Liga.
"I couldn’t care less about Real," responded Emerson. "I am a Juventus player and I will stay here.
"There really isn’t anything more that I can say," added the summer signing from Roma. "I have a contract with this club and I intend to respect it."
Moggi has also rubbished rumours suggesting that boss Fabio Capello could leave the Delle Alpi after just one year in charge.
"Capello will definitely remain," he stated after the club won their 28th Italian championship. "We wanted him to take us into the future and that is what will occur."
However, the Bianconeri official did confirm that the club would be making squad changes even if no drastic amendments.
"We’ll see but I don’t think we have that many problems to resolve," he stated. "After all, we have the best defensive record in the League and one of the best attacks.
"The average age of our squad is a relatively good one right now and we already have a number of champions on our books."
