Pepe deal done, but postponed
Tuesday 8 June, 2010
Juventus have agreed a deal with Udinese in principle for Simone Pepe, but would like to wait until after the World Cup before making the signing official.
Sky Italia understands that Pepe had a medical at Juventus' training ground in Vinovo before leaving for South Africa with the Italy squad.
Everything is ready to be signed, but pen won't be put to paper until after Italy's participation at the World Cup because Juventus are keen to protect themselves should Pepe get injured.
In the meantime talks between Juventus and Udinese are ongoing with regard to Marco Motta.
The promising young full-back is co-owned by Udinese and Roma, and Juventus are interested in signing him.
They are also looking to define their arrangement with Antonio Candreva.
