Juve To Bag Burdisso?
Juventus are preparing a bid for Inter defender Nicolas Burdisso, according to the latest reports in Italy.
May 27, 2008 5:21:53 PM
The Bianconeri are on the lookout for defenders this summer,
and are particularly keen on signing at least one new centre back.
According to reports in Italy, Juventus transfer chief Alessio Secco and director general Jean-Claude Blanc have agreed that Argentine defender Burdisso is the man to strengthen the team’s backline.
Burdisso signed for Inter from Boca Juniors in 2004, but has never been a first team regular due to the presence of a number of other top-class defenders.
He is currently behind Ivan Cordoba, Walter Samuel, Marco Materazzi, Christian Chivu and Nelson Rivas in the centre back pecking order, and as a result the Nerazzurri are more than happy to let him leave.
Burdisso made 24 Serie A appearances this season, but it was not a campaign to remember as he put in a series of shaky displays at the back, particularly in the last few months.
The 26-year-old, who was sent off in a Coppa Italia tie against Juve in January (see picture above), has given his nod of approval to a move to Turin, and both Secco and Blanc are said to be confident of completing a deal within the next few weeks.
