Diego Was The Perfect Signing For Juventus - Jean-Claude Blanc
The Bianconeri obtained the services of the Brazilian player for €24.5m from Werder Bremen during the past summer.
After watching star signing Diego lead the team to victory on Sunday, Juventus general manager Jean-Claude Blanc expressed his satisfaction in completing such an important deal this summer.
Diego cost the Old Lady €24.5 million from Werder Bremen, a very reasonable price when compared to the big sums splashed out by other clubs in these past few months to sign world class players.
The Bianconeri defeated Roma 3-1 on Sunday night, with the Brazilian player being the main protagonist in the encounter, scoring a fine brace.
"From the timing and amount point of view, it was a perfect operation," the Old Lady's general manager proudly declared to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"If we had waited just a few more days, everything would have changed - we would have paid much more."
Blanc is referring to the fact that a few days after this transfer was officially announced, Milan and Manchester United respectively sold Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for high figures, and would therefore have been the favourites to sign up the former Porto man.
