Juve’s new Lampard bid Tuesday 23 October, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Italian Press reports suggest that Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco is in London to present Chelsea with an offer for Frank Lampard.
The England international midfielder is believed to be determined to quit Stamford Bridge this summer after the departure of manager Jose Mourinho.
Juve made an unsuccessful approach last summer, but now appear to have a realistic chance of luring the unsettled star, who is under contract until 2009.
Bianconeri boss Claudio Ranieri launched the 29-year-old’s career when the Roman tactician signed Lampard for Chelsea from West Ham in 2001.
La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that the Cadetti champions would need to find £7m to reunite the two men in Turin.
Lampard is allegedly willing to accept a pay cut from around £4.2m to £3.4 in order to begin a fresh challenge in Serie A.
Such a move would certainly spell the end for troubled Portuguese summer signing Tiago Mendes.
Having expressed his frustration at a lack of first-team football, Tiago would be unlikely to stay and greet former teammate Lampard.
There are rumours that Fiorentina are waiting to pounce on the ex-Lyon man and will pay just half of the £7m Juve shelled out in the summer.
