Almiron in River Plate talks
Tuesday 29 July, 2008
Juventus midfield misfit Sergio Almiron is being linked with a return to his homeland and River Plate.
The 27-year-old joined the Old Lady from Empoli this time last year for around £7m and there were high hopes for him.
However, Almiron failed to settle in Turin and made just five Serie A starts last season, leaving for Monaco on loan in January,
With the arrival of Christian Poulsen, it seems highly likely that Almiron will leave Juve this summer and he has been a target for Palermo, Napoli and Turkish giants Galatasaray.
But Tuttosport now claims that River Plate are in pole position for the unsettled star’s signature.
Almiron has reportedly flown to Buenos Aires this morning to discuss a possible move to Los Milionarios.
After seven years in Europe, it could represent a chance for the underachieving talent to revitalise his career.
