Juventus To Formulate An Offer For Inter’s Maxwell – Report

Juventus have made it clear that they are keen to bolster their defence this summer, as they struggled in that area at times last season.

They have already re-signed the Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid, and the next man on their list is Maxwell, who has fallen out of favour with coach Jose Mourinho at Inter.

The agent of the player, Mino Raiola, has confirmed over the past week or so that his client will be leaving the Nerazzurri during the summer, meaning that the race is on to acquire his services.

Juve are reportedly leading the dash at present, as according to the Inter Channel, the club’s director of football, Alessio Secco, is a big fan of the 27-year-old left-back.

The player’s current contract expires in June 2010; however, at this stage, the reports suggest that the Italian champions would prefer that Maxwell join Milan, rather than Juve, if he was to switch to a rival club.

The Brazilian has been with Inter since 2006 and has played a total of 71 league games, scoring two goals along the way.

Milan Very Close To Signing Edin Dzeko - Report

With Kaka almost certain to complete his move to Real Madrid tonight, Milan are already moving to replace the Brazilian, as Sky Italia claims that a deal to sign Wolfsburg star Edin Dzeko is "very close" to being formalised.

The Bosnian had a sensational 2008/09 campaign, scoring 32 goals in all competitions, and leading Wolfsburg to the Bundesliga title.

The 23-year-old has since been linked to a host of top clubs, and his agent Irfan Redzepagic admitted earlier today that his client would be tempted by a move to either Milan or Arsenal.

However, it seems as if the Rossoneri may have won the race to sign the hitman. Sky Italia claims that Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani and director Ariedo Braida met with the player's father in Sarajevo on Saturday to broker the move.

There is no official word on the topic as of yet, but if confirmed, this transfer would surely help appease Milan fans angry over the certain sale of Kaka to Real Madrid.

So its done I guess. Were paying a huge sum though. This guy is going to cost us as much as Pato did.

It seems its going to be 18 million, 2 million to the player and 3.5 million a year for 5 years.

I hope he's good then and not as I'm thinking Oliveira the 2nd.

That's quite a bit of money for a somewhat slightly unproven kid.
Hopefully if we do actually get him he would make most of us if not all of us happy as Pato has done.
Then his high price would at least become justifiable.

I dont thinkso. He's deemed to be a similar player to shevchenko.

I hope so too. He has proven himself in bundesliga but thats bundesliga lol. Serie A will be the real challenge.


It seems after him we are going after defence.

Lets see what 80 million does for the team.

Well if that turns out to be true, then I am certain he would definitely find a place in all our hearts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I find Mexes to be inconsistent and quite overrated. [taking into consideration the price which comes along with him]

Juventus Are Favourites To Sign Palmeiras Striker Keirrison – Agent

Keirrison de Souza Carneiro is a 20-year-old Brazilian striker, who currently plays with Palmeiras in the Campeonato Brasilieiro after joining them from Coritiba earlier in the year.

Keirrison managed to make 63 appearances in two seasons with his former club and found the back of the net 33 times along the way.

As a result, the starlet is being tracked by a number of Europe’s top clubs, including the likes of Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Lyon, Liverpool, Chelsea, Valencia and Real Madrid.

However, his agent Marcos Malachi believes that Juve are the frontrunners to acquire his services.

“Juventus have been in touch with us previously, especially when we have travelled to Europe,” the agent stressed in an interview with Itasportpress.it.

“I have spoken with a number of other clubs as well; however, for now, it seems as if Keirrison pleases Juve the most.”

The hitman has come under fire at times throughout the season for his inconsistency, but this has not affected him in his approach to matches and the self-belief and character he has shown out on the pitch.

“These whistles do not annoy me,” the player himself added.

“I have always tried to work hard, and I know that God is always there to help me perform and achieve good things.

“The most important thing for me is to continue on this path and try to win always.”

The first time I heard of him was football manager and since then he's been constantly talked about it seems.
