Barcelona insisting for Trezeguet

Italian television channel Italia 1 claims that Barcelona economic vice president Ferran Soriano will travel to Turin in the coming days to start negotiations on Juventus forward David Trezeguet (30) (read more here).


With Barcelona having put down a first offer of 15 million euro°, talks seems to get difficult since Juventus only wants to let the French striker go for 25 million euro°, a sum that directly would be reinvested in the transfer of Ajax forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Soriano will meet tomorrow with Juventus chief executive Jean-Claude Blanc to make the Italian club a final offer. Juventus would at least want to receive 20 million euro°.

New Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola thinks that Trezeguet could form a good duo with his former team-mate and close friend Thierry Henry. Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain would have contacted the entourage of Trezeguet trying to convince the player to push his current club.

Trezeguet doesn't really have a priority and wants to leave the matter to the clubs. Juventus would be willing to cooperate with a transfer recognizing the career of the Frenchman at the club but wants to receive the right price.

Madrid sports tabloid As claims that Trezeguet is having enough from the tactical and physical play in the Italian league and would therefore be in favour of a move to Barcelona.

Barcelona just can't help themselves! Just when it seems they are coming to their senses by moving away from Hleb, they jump right back into it with this guy!

As far as Trezequet goes how on God's green earth could he ever fill Eto'o's boots?! He's 3yrs. older and half as good. I also thought that there was a rift between Henry and himself? Perhaps professional jealousy? So how would this be a good partnership? and if Pep plans to partner them together does this mean that Trez would play as a winger? because otherwise Pep would have to change to a 4-4-2 to accomodate both of them upfront together.

Last but not least, if Juventus is smart enough to use the transfer money on Huntelaar why isn't Barcelona smart enough to do the same? For the same price I'd take Huntelaar 100 times out of a 100 over Trezequet!

For god sake! Not this injury prone 31 years old player. What are the board thinking with? Not their heads apparently. And willing to pay that kind of money? Hilarious!

Go for Huntelaar or Gomez instead, don't give Juventus the money so they can.
