:shock:

10/06/2003. Speculation in Italy suggests that Juventus may be preparing an assault to lure Ruud Van Nistelrooy towards the Turin based club.

In order to obtain his services, the Old Lady is prepared to offer to Manchester United, David Trezeguet plus an amount of money to reach Van Nistelrooy's 50 million Euros tag.

However, both the player and his current club will be difficult to convince: Van Nistelrooy is already well paid and has built a reputation of a great goal scorer in England; Manchester United have in Ruud, one of the best strikers ever to have worn the Red Devils jersey.

On the other hand, Manchester United might be tempted to get Trezeguet, seeing how his fellow French national player, Thierry Henry, exploded on to the world scene with his arrival from Juventus to Arsenal.

In fact this might be Juve's only hope for the deal to go through, but before the end of the season there will be more on going speculation regarding this possible but improbable transfer.

Thatslife · 10-11-2003, 07:00 PM

he's a bit overrated IMO, but i've not seen him play much this season

**Jager** · 10-11-2003, 09:53 PM

Hmm, I think Juve will do nothing until the offseason. Then they will probably raid Roma or Lazio of some of its assets, since those teams need funds in a bad way. Cassano, Montella, Delvechio will not all remain with Roma.

Del Piero is back, and Trez is under contract until the end of the season.(somebody correct me, if I'm wrong) Why fix, what's not broken?

Reports in Spain claim Valencia are monitoring the situation of Juventus defender Alessandro Birindelli.
The Primera outfit have been looking to recruit a right-sided full back for some time after a serious injury to Curro Torres, which is still sidelining the Spanish international, and their decision not to renew the contract of Jocelyn Angloma last summer.

Che boss Rafa Benitez was rumoured to have targeted the Italian international during last close season, but was informed the club did not have the funds to pursue a transfer.

However, Birindelli will be out of contract next June and thus eligible to move on for nothing, but Valencia are keen to take him to the Mestalla when the transfer window reopens in January.

The Spaniards are considering offering Juve a small amount for the remainder of the player's contract, but will bide their time until the end of the season if the Turin giants reject their proposal.

Juve are thought to have offered the defender a new deal, but with a regular first-team berth far from assured at the Stadio Delle Alpi, the former Empoli star may choose to seek pastures new.

Meanwhile, defender Fabio Aurelio has handed Valencia a boost by confirming he is making good progress towards regaining full fitness.

The Brazilian full back has been out of action since damaging knee ligaments in a game against Real Madrid last May.

However, the South American has now stepped up his recuperation programme, and is hopeful of a first-team return by January.

"The dream is to start the New Year with the rest of the team," Aurelio stated.

JUve doesn't need him, he can go
