Juve deny interest in Alonso

Wed 01 Jul, 03:57 PM


Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli insists the Serie A giants are not interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.

Speculation is rife that Juve have joined the race to sign the Spain international, who they tried to tempt to the Stadio Olimpico last year. However, Cobolli Gigli claims they are not in the hunt for Alonso, who has also been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

"There are a lot of names for midfield but not that of Xabi Alonso," he said. "I learnt from the press about our interest for the Spanish player."

He added: "He's a great player but I think that to say that I have read his name in the papers says it all."

Cobolli Gigli also revealed that Juve are still interested in Udinese playmaker Gaetano D'Agostino despite their bid hitting several stumbling blocks.

"Negotiations have cooled somewhat," he added. "It's about finding a solution between what our valuation is and the Friuli club's valuation of the player.

"The matter is complicated, the fact is that Udinese apart from money want our players who we believe will be part of the future backbone of Juventus.

"However, we still have our esteem and theoretical interest for the player."

  2. I 'm from greece and i am a big juvefun. I believe­ a team of that quality must have players like Alonso,­ so i think it's very good a transfer from Liverpool­ to Juventus

  3. Liverpool must nothing to do, but keep the squad­ together, bring up some reserves and get a "Number­ 10"! That would be enough to win the PL:­ Reina,Cavalieri -­ Johnson,Darby,Carragher,Skrtel,Agger,Aurelio,Insua -­ Mascherano,Alonso,Lucas,Gerrard,­ Spearing,Riera,Benayoun -­ Kuyt,Torres,Babel,Ngog,Aguero(Atletico). +­ Gulacsi,Kelly, San Jose,Irwin,Pacheco,Dalla­ Valle,Nemeth for some games.­ Degen,Dossena,Pennant,Plessis,El Zhar can leave!­ Voronin and Arbeloa would go too! I think.

  6. ALANSLEVEN37 I am NOT a united fan nor a LIVERPOOL­ FAN.

    Liverpool are very famous in Europe for a certain­ night at Heysel.
    The aftermath of that is that ALL­ CLUBS FROM ENGALND WERE BARRED FROM EUROPE.

    FACT No­ one in England or Europe from my experience likes­ LIVERPOOL fans. LIVE WITH IT AND REMEMBER

    RESPECT­ RESPECT RESPECT

    Man United are the biggest embarrasement in europe.They­ are only famous becuase 50 years ago they crashed a­ plane.Before that nobody knew who they were.
    They talk­ about their legends including George Best,he was a­ joke,and a drunken wifebeater.
