Perugia drop ex-Juve pair Friday 23 August, 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perugia are cutting costs and have shown Nicola Amoruso and Fabian O’Neill the door.
“Amoruso is sure to leave,” explained President Luciano Gaucci, “as he just won’t be able to play now that we have Andrea Caracciolo.”
Under-21 striker Caracciolo arrived on loan from Brescia this week and has pushed the former Bianconeri hitman out of the squad.
Amoruso has been linked with Premiership sides, most notably Everton, for several weeks and a move looks imminent.
If Amoruso’s future hangs in the balance, that of O’Neill has already been decided.
The Uruguayan international (pictured) has rescinded his contract with Perugia after less than a year at the Stadio Renato Curi.
“The club had expressed its desire to sell me some months ago,” confessed the other ex-Juve star.
“I had been offered to sides from Belgium, Turkey and other places around the world, but I realised that the cost was excessive for these clubs.”
“When I offered to rescind my contract, we reached an agreement immediately.” O’Neill had been tied to Perugia until 2005.
