    Barca To Make €22m Trez Offer

    [​IMG]

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Barcelona travel to Italy today ahead of their friendly with Fiorentina, and reports in the peninsula suggest that they will use this visit to present Juventus with a €22m bid for David Trezeguet.

    The Blaugrana are well known to be in the market for a top class centre forward, and Trezeguet has been heavily linked with a move to the club all summer, with new coach Josep Guardiola even reported to have made an unsuccessful inquiry several weeks ago.

    Although Juve have always stated that Trezeguet is not for sale, the Frenchman’s importance to the club does not seem to be as crucial as it perhaps once was. The 30-year-old has not been at his best in pre-season, and has been overshadowed so far by Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta, who have scored five goals between them in the last two friendly matches against Brondby and Borussia Dortmund.

    Barcelona today travel to Italy ahead of tomorrow’s friendly match with Fiorentina, which will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the death of the famous Italian football figure Artemio Franchi, for whom the Viola’s stadium is named after.

    While in Italy, there are strong reports that Barca officials will present Juve with a €22m offer for Trezeguet. The striker is ready to consider a transfer, which would see him hook up with good friend Thierry Henry, while Juve may consider €22m as a lot of money for a player who will turn 31 in October.

    Another possible option for Barca is the inclusion of Samuel Eto’o in a swap deal, an exchange that may interest Juve boss Claudio Ranieri.</div>

    We all saw this one coming.

    The fee is a wee bit high.

    He should go there, and enjoy La Liga.

    I'm not sure though. Juventus have a bright future - Again.

    He has two choices, and both are great choices. Stay or go to Barca.

    True, but at Barca he gets to play with the likes of Messi, Bojan and Eto'o. Big difference IMO. [​IMG]
