Nedved's negotiations with Juventus stall
July 9, 2007
TURIN, Italy (AP) -Pavel Nedved may retire after negotiations with Juventus to raise his salary didn't produce any results Monday.
"I'm a little disappointed," Nedved said as he walked out of Juve's offices. "I'm going to go home and think things over."
Nedved has one more season remaining on his contract but he is seeking a higher salary.
"Three years ago Pavel cut his salary in half," Nedved's agent Mino Raiola told the ANSA news agency without revealing financial details. "And now he finds himself lagging behind compared to other Juventus players.
"If the proposal remains what it was today, Nedved will quit."
The 34-year-old Nedved has been with Juventus since 2001. He won the Golden Ball as Europe's best player in 2003.
Juventus opens its summer training camp Wednesday.
The club is also negotiating with midfielder Mauro Camoranesi, who wants to extend his contract by one year to 2010 with a salary increase.

So all brawl is happening for the money or the stupid reporters spread around the lies of Secco to justifiy the dismisals of Nedved and Camoranesi. I don't think that Nedved really cares for the money. He showed that he love Juve in all the dificult times of the team.
I hope to stay, because he loves the team and he can offer a lot, even thought he is at his 34. Juve without him will not be the Juve we adored.
