Giovinco to stay at Juve Thursday 29 May, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus fantasista Sebastian Giovinco will remain with the Bianconeri next season, according to his agent.

The 21-year-old, who spent the year on loan at Empoli, has been one of this season’s revelations and is in demand.

“Giovinco has a fan in my son,” Claudio Pasqualin explained to Teleradiostereo. “So, I would not mess him about by telling him lies.

“He will be at Juve next season. The Bianconeri want him to stay.”

Giovinco could not save Empoli, who were relegated from Serie A, despite scoring six goals in 35 appearances for the club.

“Moving back to Juventus would be an important opportunity for Sebastian to develop his career,” added the representative. “I don’t expect him to be sold.”

The tiny talent was wanted by Palermo as part of a deal brokered with Juventus for Brazilian striker Amauri – who should finally sign a five-year contract on Friday.

The Bianconeri, however, were quick to extract the youngster, known as the ‘Atomic Ant’, from any negotiations.
