Juventus make Cassano bid

Wednesday 1 June, 2005

Juventus have reportedly made Roma an initial player plus cash offer in their bid to sign Antonio Cassano.

Director general Luciano Moggi is understood to have met with Giallorossi chief operating officer Rosella Sensi on Tuesday to start talks.

The Bianconeri are ready to hand over Adrian Mutu and £9m for the Italian international forward.

Moggi made contact at the request of Fabio Capello, who bossed the youngster during his time in the Italian capital.

Juve are also keen to wrap up the deal as soon as possible given that Inter and Real Madrid are also interested in the former Bari starlet.

The Stadio Olimpico side will now have to decide what to do with Cassano as his contract expires in 2006.

The club have already extended the contracts of Vincenzo Montella and Francesco Totti but an agreement with Cassano may be difficult.

The cost of keeping the 23-year-old would be high and it may make more sense to cash in on him, especially as they will now be paying Totti £7.5m-a-season.

It was believed that Juve would offer cash and Shabani Nonda to the Giallorossi but that now looks unlikely.

Reports in Italy today suggest that Nonda has failed a medical and therefore will not complete a summer move to Juve from Monaco.

Bayern Munich stopper Robert Kovac has passed his medical and he is set to be confirmed as a Juve player very soon.

Meanwhile, Olivier Kapo could be heading back to France. The winger has failed to settle in Turin since his move from Auxerre and Monaco are keen on his services.

Hold on a second. Roma are paying Totti 7.5 mill a season?! What the fuck is that all about like?

Naw, only the journalists did. Juventus team manager never changes his mind, he already knows what to do.

wonder how Chelsea would react if the offer with Mutu is true and goes through?
The Mutu-Chelsea trial has nothing to do with Juventus. It's a player vs Chelsea thing. Mutu is already a Juventus player, and he already debupted with "us".

Also isn't that twice that Nonda has had moves to Juve cancelled due to injury  :-\
We just wanted to sign him and to add him in some trades.. to get other players.

Totti is getting about 5.8 m per year, which is a lot, but not "that" crazy, here in Italy..
About Cassano, it's Cassano who wanna go to Juve, and Capello likes him.
But next year he'll be a free agent, so there's no rush.
Juve has Trezeguet, Del Piero, Mutu, Zalayeta and Ibrahimovic in attack: we're complete.
We have other priorities.
I'll keep you posted.
