Juve Offer Iaquinta For Mancini
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Juventus look likely to beat Inter Milan to the signing of Amantino Mancini, by offering Vincenzo Iaquinta to Roma in exchange.
Mancini has been a key player for Roma over the past few years, however his contract expires in 2009, and he is almost certain to leave the club this summer having rejected a new deal.
Both Juventus and Inter have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian, with the former wanting him as a replacement for the probably retiring Pavel Nedved, and the latter viewing him also as a replacement, this time for the departing Luis Figo.
The Corriere says that the Bianconeri are set to win the race by offering striker Iaquinta in return.
The 28-year-old only signed from Udinese last summer, and despite a good season, he has become increasingly irritated at largely being a substitute for the prolific David Trezeguet and Alessandro Del Piero.
Roma coach Luciano Spalletti is in favour of the exchange as he is a huge admirer of Iaquinta, having successfully coached him at Udinese in the past.
Inter are likely to turn their attentions exclusively to Arsenal Aliaksandr Hleb as they look to solve their problem on the left hand side of midfield.
