Cordoba is pure shit and any Juve interest in him is pure fabrication by the newspapers. Anyway, sorry if this has already been posted, but:
Juve's big-spending days are over, says heir
ROME, July 3 (Reuters) - The heir to the Agnelli family that controls Juventus warned on Tuesday that the club's big-spending days were over.
John Elkann, vice-president of the FIAT group and grandson of the late Gianni Agnelli who was Juventus's long-term president and owner, said in future the club would avoid the huge transfer campaigns of former general director Luciano Moggi and former chief executive Antonio Giraudo.
'Moggi and Giraudo's spending was unsustainable. They made up for it by factoring in the increase in value of players (into the accounts) but it couldn't go on like that,' the 31-year-old Elkann told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Moggi and Giraudo were forced to quit Juventus over their involvement in last year's Serie A match-fixing scandal.
The club were sent down to the second-division Serie B but will be playing top-flight football again next season after winning the league.
'Serie B was very hard - a season in Purgatory that nobody liked. It also cost us a lot of money,' Elkann continued.
'I believe in a sustainable model: costs cannot account for 80 percent of turnover. At Manchester United it accounts for 55 percent.'
Elkann's vision of a more financially cautious Juventus has not prevented the club being active on the transfer market.
Since winning promotion, the club have brought in Portuguese midfielder Tiago from Olympique Lyon, defender Zdenek Grygera from Ajax and Bosnian midfielder Hasan Salihamidzic from Bayern Munich.

i think they are just trying to cool down the transfer market. after the budget increase evry team we approach wil do what zaragoza is doing,20m for a 12m player
look at it... it doesnt make sense ... why would Elkann double the budget if he want to cut the spending. you double the budget to cut the recovery time in half
having said that the problem we are acing is not the transfer budget but the salary budget. thats why we had problems with trz and camo
