Schwarzer to be Buffon understudy
Saturday 3 May, 2008
Middlesbrough’s Mark Schwarzer is set to be Juventus’ new second choice goalkeeper, according to the Corriere dello Sport.
The newspaper maintains that Schwarzer will join the Bianconeri on a free transfer in the summer, when his contract with the Premiership club expires.
The Australian international is the prime choice to act as understudy to Gianluigi Buffon, whose back problems have been forcing Juve to reconsider their priorities.
Next season he may need to rest occasionally, especially with the Champions League games on top of the fixture list, and current number two Emanuele Belardi is not considered up to the task.
Over the past few weeks there have been reports that Fiorentina, Tottenham, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Celtic were all interested in Schwarzer.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Juventus have beaten the competition to secure a deal with the goalkeeper.
