Marino To Make Big Iaquinta Bid


Marino To Make Big Iaquinta Bid

According to reports in Italy, Napoli sporting director Pierpaolo Marino is ready to make a significant transfer bid to sign Juventus star Vincenzo Iaquinta.

Iaquinta signed for the Old Lady from Udinese last summer but he has struggled for first team action due to the stunning form of David Trezeguet and Alessandro Del Piero.

The 28-year-old has started just nine Serie A games all season, but has still managed an excellent return of eight goals.

Iaquinta has grown increasingly frustrated with his super-sub role, and with there likely to be extra competition next term from Amauri and Sebastiano Giovinco, he is ready to leave the club.

Roma had appeared to be the favourites to snap him up, however over the past few days the Italian press says that one of Italian football’s resurrected forces, Napoli, could be his next destination.

The Partenopei, through highly regarded transfer chief Pierpaolo Marino, are looking to sign some big name players this summer.

Marino is ready to make a significant transfer bid to entice Iaquinta to Campania, in order to form a tasty looking partnership with explosive Argentine talent Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Napoli and Juventus already have good relations, following the business they conducted last summer with Marcelo Zalayeta and Manuele Blasi.
