Juventus Are A Great Club - Alonso
After his great performance in Spain's match against Greece at Euro 2008, Juventus fans can't wait for Xabi Alonso to be officially announced as their new purchase.
"I am very calm," said the player to Sky. "I don't have much to say about Juve because at the moment I'm very concentrated on the Euros with Spain. There is no news on my future. At the moment my future is only the Euros."
On the negotiations going on with the Old Lady, he said: "We'll see what happens with Juve: it's hard to say right now. In Liverpool I spent 4 fantastic years, but I must admit I have always been fascinated by Italian football. But it's early to talk about the future: we'll see."
The Spanish international talked about his admiration for the Bianconeri: "Juve are one of the biggest teams in Europe, perhaps the biggest in Italy: they have many fans not only in Italy, but all over the world.
"They have champions like Buffon, Nedved, and Del Piero who have won a lot of things together. They're a team who want to get back to winning the Scudetto and who also want to compete in the Champions League. A great club, in a word. Sissoko [who used to play with Alonso at Liverpool]? I haven't spoken to him, he's in Africa to play with Mali."
