Juve’s Milito bid fails Monday 4 June, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reports in Spain suggest that Real Zaragoza have turned down an £11.5m offer from Juventus for defender Gabriel Milito.
The Bianconeri are looking to strengthen their defensive department and have eyed the 26-year-old Argentine international, who landed in Spain in 2003.
Newspaper AS reports that Juventus contacted the Liga outfit in the past few weeks, making an initial £8.5m bid, later increased to £11.5m, but it was not enough to convince Zaragoza to let the player leave.
Milito has a £21m release clause in his contract and it seems unlikely that the Spanish club will accept anything less than £15m to even open talks.
Intermediary Jorge Cysterpiller was in Spain last week to meet with President Pero Agapito Iglesias, who made it clear that the offer presented by the newly promoted Italian side was not suitable.
Reports in Italy claim that the player’s agent Eduardo Gamarnik has already agreed terms with Juventus over a five-year contract, while he waits for Zaragoza to give the green light to his departure.
Juve are allegedly keen to close the deal before the player leaves Europe to participate in this summer’s Copa America in Venezuela.
The Bianconeri are expected to present another offer once they confirm the appointment of their new Coach, with Claudio Ranieri the favourite to take the role.
