Juve lead Diego race
Thursday 3 April, 2008
Juventus are in pole position to sign Werder Bremen star Diego this summer, according to the player’s father.
The Brazilian international has set the Bundesliga alight this term and is attracting interest from some of Europe’s biggest sides, including Real Madrid and Arsenal.
Juve have made no secret of their desire to add the 23-year-old to their ranks as they look to strengthen for a Scudetto push next term and it seems that they could get their man.
“So much has been said and not all of it is true,” Diego’s father Djair de Cunha told Bild.
“But Bianconeri sporting director Alessio Secco has already been to Bremen and talked to Werder President Klaus Allofs.”
There has been some confusion as Diego initially was quoted as saying that he wanted to join Juventus, but days later allegedly pledged his future to Real Madrid.
While Bremen want to keep hold of their star man, that seems increasingly unlikely as they languish in fifth place in Germany.
“The situation isn’t good enough for Diego,” his father continued. “His dream is to win in Europe.”
Diego is under contract until 2011 and is expected to command a fee of around £14m, which could be a stumbling block for Juventus.
