Bolton ‘agree’ Tudor loan Friday 26 August, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bolton are trying to convince Igor Tudor to accept a move to England after they agreed a one-year loan deal with Juventus.
The 27-year-old, who can play in both defence and midfield, is available for transfer after falling out of favour with boss Fabio Capello.
The Croatian made just two substitute appearances last term before joining Siena on loan in January.
"It's just a question of getting him to Bolton and telling him what Bolton is all about," said chairman Phil Gartside. "If we can do that then we will have got a good signing.
"He has three years on his contract and Juventus are not keen to let him out on a permanent deal, but they are quite prepared to let him out on a loan basis.
"However, we have a good record whether they are permanent or not that when we bring a player into the club it's very rare that they leave.
"Even with our loan players, within a year they have always signed and carried on playing."
Bolton have already taken Hidetoshi Nakata on loan from Serie A side Fiorentina.
