A 'Plan Capello' for Juventus to loan players to Real Madrid
Fabio Capello has brought with him from Turin to Madrid an intriguing plan which could help both troubled Juventus and Real, his new club.
Always the realist, Capello's plan appeared to have been drafted not out of high-minded altruism but out of hard-headed self-interest.
Capello Tuesday bid farewell to troubled Juventus, and apparently mentioned his plan to the besieged Juve directors.
On Wednesday he flew to Madrid to negotiate a lucrative three year-deal with Real. On Thursday he was to be presented to the Madrid media.
Sports paper As said Thursday that under the plan, if Juventus end up being relegated to Serie B for their role in the Italian 'Moggigate' scandal, Juve will loan out some of their top players to Real until the club is back in Serie A.
Juventus would thus avoid having to pay their massive salaries at a time of low income. And Capello would be able to use the players, for at least one season, as part of his plan to rebuild Real - without the Madrid club having to pay any transfer fees.
The players in question are Juventus' brightest stars: Gianluca Zambrotta, Fabio Cannavaro, Emerson, Patrick Vieira, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Trezeguet.
The actual negotations - now that Capello will be spending his time on the training ground and on Real's infamous pre-season tours - will be carried out by Franco Baldini, who has just been appointed as Real's technical secretary.
As called Capello's plan 'a wonderful opportunity for Real...and a lifeline to Juventus, given their circumstances.'
Initial reaction of the Juventus directors to the 'Plan Capello' was, apparently, lukewarm. However, the coach is hoping they will come round to the idea when the threat of relegation becomes reality.
Capello has refused to give details of the plan in public. All he would say early Thursday - a few hours before his presentation to the media - was: 'I hope that everything turns out well for Juventus. I'm very worried about the future of that club.'
Another player Capello is keen to bring to Madrid, in addition to the Juventus group mentioned above, is Kaka.
Kaka was the big name promised by Ramon Calderon - along with that of Capello, in his successful campaign for the Real presidency.
AC Milan, however, are furious about Real's illicit approaches to Kaka, and are threatening to report Calderon to UEFA.
'Plan Capello' has clearly generated much less enthusiasm in Milan than in Turin and Madrid.
must be hard for you to support them cheating bastards now.... we, on the other hand, feel proud to see our heros succeed yet again. Champions we are :eyebrows: And our captain scored that beauty, the same captain who freekicked your doom in the san siro lol.
