Giovinco-Cassano swap suggested
Friday 20 March, 2009
Juventus are reportedly planning a summer assault for Sampdoria star Antonio Cassano and could even offer co-ownership of Sebastian Giovinco.
The Bianconeri have made no secret of their admiration for former Real Madrid man Cassano.
However, Doria sporting director Beppe Marotta has ruled out any transfer involving the Bari native.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Juve may try and use rising star Giovinco as bait by offering co-ownership of the 'Atomic Ant' as well as £12m.
There are reports that the two clubs conducted preliminary negotiations last month and that Samp are willing to consider the deal.
While the Bianconeri are clearly determined to lure Cassano, it remains to be seen whether they would be willing to loosen their grip on Giovinco, who is widely regarded as a key man in the club's future.
