Juventus make Cassano bid

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.

Iaquinta ready to move on

Vincenzo Iaquinta is ready to turn his back on Udinese despite the prospect of Champions’ League football next season.

The Bianconeri have qualified for the European Cup but the striker has dreams of a big summer move.

"It is the objective of all players to join a great club," Iaquinta stated. "I just hope that Udinese don’t ask too much for me."

However, the former Azzurrini player admitted that he may still remain at the Stadio Friuli next term.

"I’m curious to see what boss Luciano Spalletti does," he continued. "I get on well with him and staying at Udinese together may be the right choice."

Iaquinta was called into the Italy squad on Monday as a replacement for the injured Alberto Gilardino.

He’s now hoping to make an appearance in the World Cup qualifier at Norway on Saturday evening.

"It is very satisfying to have been included in the squad again," he underlined. "I hope to fight for a first team shirt.

"The absence of Francesco Totti and Alex Del Piero? I’m saddened that they are not here but they remain great players."

Juve could sell Emo for Real

Juventus and Real Madrid could decide to swap Emerson and Walter Samuel this summer, according to an Italian football agent.

Reports have suggested that the Bianconeri may release the Brazilian in return for the central defender – who worked with boss Fabio Capello at Roma last season.

And now Dario Canovi, a respected football representative, has added more fuel to the fire.

"It’s not a story without foundation," he told Spq Radio. "I really think that it could happen. It would also explain why Juve are looking at certain types of players, like Mozart."

The Reggina player has been associated with the Turin giants for some months and Canovi wouldn’t be surprised if the move occurred.

"His switch to Juventus is probable and very plausible," he added. "As far as I know, their interest in him is very real.

"It is also true that other clubs like Milan like him but I think the Old Lady are on the verge of netting him."

Canovi also suggested that Real Madrid were keen on Shunsuke Nakamura, Mozart’s Reggina teammate.

"There is an interest," he insisted. "It’s an old story as the Spaniards fell in love with him before he moved to the Amaranti."

Parma decimated by suspensions

Parma will be without six suspended players for the first-leg of their Serie A survival play-off with Bologna.

The Disciplinary Commission have today confirmed that Alessandro Contini, Jorge Bolano, Daniele Bonera, Domenico Morfeo, Alberto Gilardino and Fabio Vignaroli have been handed one-match bans.

The loss of Bonera, Morfeo and Gilardino, who has netted 23 League goals this term, is a particular blow to the Tardini outfit.

Bologna boss Carlo Mazzone has just one suspension to deal with in the form of Brazilian defender Juarez.

The two teams, who finished the season level on 42 points, will face each other at Parma on June 14 before the return at the Dall’Ara on June 18.

O en Totti natuurlijk, die heeft z'n contract inderdaad verlengd tot 2010, kan erna gewoon bij de club aan de slag als ie wil stoppen met voetbal en zal nu elk jaar 10.4 miljoen Euro verdienen, bijna 1 miljoen per maand dus.
Daarnaast ook nog een half miljoen voor portretrechten.

Toro sensationally axe Rossi

Promotion chasing Torino have incredibly sacked boss Ezio Rossi with just two games of the season remaining.

The Serie B outfit took the decision on Tuesday with the sleeping giants sitting joint third in the table.

Although Toro look set to take part in the play-offs, they’ve shown Rossi the door for failing to net an automatic promotion spot which Empoli and Genoa currently occupy.

The Granata will appoint director general Renato Zaccarelli as Rossi’s replacement for the club’s remaining games.

Gilardino talks on hold

Milan say they won’t make a move for Alberto Gilardino until after Parma’s survival play-off with Bologna.

The Gialloblu will sell the striker in the summer but they are still trying to secure their Serie A future after finishing level on points with the Dall’Ara outfit.

"Parma have two very important games with Bologna coming up and we will not disturb them until after those games," said Milan chief Adriano Galliani.

The Rossoneri are understood to have already agreed terms with the player but no fee has been ironed out between the two clubs.

There were suggestions that Milan were no longer interested in the Italian after Parma slapped a £35m price tag on him.

But Galliani’s comments today suggest that the former Piacenza and Verona player is a primary objective.

The official also confirmed that boss Carlo Ancelotti would still be sitting on the Milan bench next term.

"I can’t do anything to block all of this Ancelotti talk but he will stay," he said. "I’m ready to put my hand in the fire to prove it."

Milan have also been associated with Lazio full-back Massimo Oddo, as a valid alternative for Marcos Cafu.

"Oddo? Who knows? We’ll have to wait and see," responded Galliani. "There is still plenty of time, three months in fact, for transfers."

Serie A scraps play-offs

Parma-Bologna looks set to be the last relegation play-off in the top flight, as from next season there are also changes on artificial pitches and suspensions.

The current set-up in Serie A and B rules that if two teams finish the campaign level on points, a two-legged play-off is decreed to decide who gets the place.

If more than two sides are locked together, then a mini-League is drawn up of their results against each other throughout the season. This is what happened last week, as Fiorentina, Parma and Bologna all concluded on 42 points, but the Viola’s record against the other two was the best, so they escaped the play-off.

Today the Lega Calcio agreed that from next term the mini-League would be used to decide who is relegated without the need for another match. So, for example, had that rule been implemented this season, Parma would’ve gone straight down to Serie B as their record against the other two was the worst. Goal difference will continue to count for nothing.

“There is not enough room in the football calendar to fit two play-off games in anymore,” explained Lega Calcio Vice-President Maurizio Zamparini.

There will also be other changes to the rule-book. Artificial pitches will be accepted in the top flight, while matches suspended due to increment weather or other unavoidable causes will be resumed from the same minute and scoreline rather than replayed in their entirety

Miccoli close to Viola agreement

Fiorentina are expected to complete the signing of Fabrizio Miccoli from Juventus next week.
The striker spent this term at the Viola after he was netted in a co-ownership deal with the Bianconeri last summer.

Now Miccoli, the Viola and the Turin giants are ready to reach an agreement which will satisfy all parties.
"Everything will be decided next week," stated Francesco Caliandro, the former Perugia star’s agent.

"The club must first decide on their new Coach and sporting director before thinking about the squad.
"But everyone knows that Fabrizio wants to stay at this club.
"We already took steps last year so that he would remain at Fiorentina for next season."
Enzo Maresca is also being tipped to complete a similar move from Juventus, but left-back Giorgio Chiellini will be recalled to the Delle Alpi.

Meanwhile, Martin Jorgensen is hoping that Fiorentina will strike a deal with Udinese so that he can continue his Tuscan adventure.

"I don’t know what will happen," his representative told Fiorentina.it. "It is a decision which the two clubs will have to decide.
"All I can say is that Martin is happy in Florence and he still has a desire to prove his worth to the fans."

Chelsea turn to Gilardino

Chelsea are in pole position to sign Alberto Gilardino after Parma reportedly accepted a £30m offer for the player.

It was believed that Milan were favourites to sign the striker, closely followed by new champions Juventus.
However, speculation suggests that the Premiership outfit are now leading the race, after they turned their attention to Gilardino following Inter’s refusal to sell Adriano.

Milan were hopeful of concluding a deal for the 23-year-old once Parma’s survival play-off games against Bologna were over.
They are believed to have already agreed terms with the player, while they were hopeful of reaching a deal with the Gialloblu over a transfer fee.

However, the Rossoneri are seemingly only prepared to offer around £20m – substantially lower than Chelsea’s alleged bid.

Gilardino himself has stated on many occasions that he would prefer to remain in Italy, but the London club are ready to offer him £5m-a-season for the next five years.
More should be known next week once Parma chief Luca Baraldi returns from his mini-holiday on Sunday evening.

Chelsea have admitted they want a new centre-forward and Gilardino’s record of scoring 23 League goals in each of the last two campaigns hasn’t gone unnoticed.
