Report: Trez Certain To Sign For Barca

The Gazzetta dello Sport says that David Trezeguet is certain to sign for Barcelona, despite the Frenchman’s claims that he wants to end his career in Turin.
Trezeguet has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona over the last week or so, with new Coach Josep Guardiola said to be desperate to sign the prolific marksman.

However yesterday the 30-year-old seemed to shut the door on a possible transfer by pledging the rest of his career to Juve.

“I recently signed an extension until 2011 and I hope to end my career here,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“I came close to signing for Barcelona three years ago but Capello convinced me to stay. I love this club and I have no intention of leaving.”

Trezeguet was in fact referring to 2004 when a deal had been done with Barca, only for new coach Fabio Capello to block the transfer at the last minute.

The Gazzetta says that Alessio Secco and Jean-Claude Blanc have set-up a transfer again with the Blaugrana, but this time current coach Claudio Ranieri will have no vetoing powers.

With the money Juve receive for Trezeguet, thought to be around €20m, they will then use to buy Liverpool’s Xabi Alonso, although they will have to add an extra €2m to snap up the Spaniard.

Alonso, who had a very poor season last campaign, is certain to leave Liverpool, as the Merseysiders are on the brink of capturing Aston Villa’s Gareth Barry for €18m.
