Juve prepare Ajax clean-up
Tuesday 8 November, 2005
Juventus are reportedly planning a raid for three Ajax players, with Maxwell, Hatem Trabelsi and Nigel de Jong all targets for the Turin club.
After the successful signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Ajax, it seems that Juve are ready to go Dutch again, having set their sights on no fewer than three of his former teammates.
Director general Luciano Moggi spent nearly £11m on the rangy Sweden striker in 2004, but is renowned for his determination to maintain a healthy balance sheet at the Stadio Delle Alpi.
Maxwell, Trabelsi and de Jong are all out of contract at the end of the season and it seems that Moggi is keen to snap them all up at give-away prices.
Left-sided full-back Maxwell has long been coveted by the Bianconeri and his is thought to be a done deal with a four-year agreement worth £1.7m a season already in place.
Trabelsi, who operates on the opposite flank and can also play on the right wing, will be of particular interest once he receives European citizenship in January.
He is expected to replace Jonathan Zebina, whose list of bizarre injuries and excessive wage demands have left him out of favour with La Vecchia Signora.
De Jong is a highly-rated midfielder whose father played for Holland. It is thought he has also agreed a move to Turin, where he may have to fight for a place with Cristiano Zanetti.
The latter, who is out of favour at Inter, is also near the end of his contract and is held in great esteem by boss Fabio Capello given their past together at Roma.
