More info on Frings:

Werder Bremen midfielder Torsten Frings has confirmed that he may join Juventus at the end of the season.

The German international was paired with the Bianconeri recently, but Werder’s sporting director Klaus Allofs had insisted that the ace would honour his contract that runs until 2009.

However, Frings has today admitted that a Turin switch may be on the cards for the 2007-08 campaign.

“Juventus want me at all costs,” said Frings to Bild Zeitung. “They are interested in me not as any midfielder, but as the midfielder.

“I am seriously considering this option,” added the player, who returned to Bremen in 2005 after two seasons with Borussia Dortmund and one at Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, Allofs’ position seems to have changed as the official has now claimed that he wouldn’t stand in the way of the proposed transfer.

“I am surprised that he is speaking so openly about this, but we will not let this put us under pressure,” said the director.

“When you sign a contract you commit to honouring it, but if Torsten does not want to stay then I will not put chains on him to drag him to training in the morning.”
