Juve set Milito ultimatum
Sunday 24 June, 2007
Juventus will meet Zaragoza officials tomorrow to warn they won’t enter a bidding war with Real Madrid over Gabriel Milito.
The Argentine defender had been on the verge of completing his transfer to Turin this week, but over the past few days relations have cooled.
It’s reported that Real Madrid have intercepted negotiations to make an offer of their own, leading President Agapito Iglesias to pit the clubs against each other for a £13.4m price-tag.
However, this has angered Juventus, who feel that they had reached a basic agreement with both the side and the player.
Director of sport Alessio Secco flies to Spain for a meeting tomorrow and newspaper ‘Tuttosport’ suggests he will set an ultimatum for Zaragoza.
They will not go above £12m plus another £1.4m if Juventus qualify for the Champions League at the end of Milito’s first season.
The Bianconeri also face problems with Benfica, who are eager to keep hold of Fabrizio Miccoli after his season there on loan.
New Juve boss Claudio Ranieri has stated he wants the player back in his squad, but according to Portuguese newspaper ‘A Bola’, a permanent sale to Benfica is on the cards.
Miccoli has also attracted interest in Italy from Palermo and Napoli.
