Xabi delays Juve decision
Tuesday 10 June, 2008
Liverpool star Xabi Alonso is delaying any decision over a move to Juventus until he has completed his Euro 2008 mission with Spain.
The Basque playmaker has hinted that he wants to quit Anfield for Turin and there have been reports that Juve and Liverpool have agreed a fee of just over £10m.
But the 26-year-old has put the brakes on somewhat by insisting that he won’t be making any decision before this summer’s events in Austria and Switzerland are complete.
“I know that Juventus are interested,” Alonso told El Mundo Deportivo.
“But right now I won’t talk about that because I have enough to think about here with the national team.”
Meanwhile, Juve could make space for Alonso by selling unsettled forward Raffaele Palladino.
The former Azzurrini star has been frustrated at a lack of first-team football in Turin and is reportedly close to agreeing a deal with hometown team Napoli.
The Old Lady may insist upon a co-ownership agreement rather than an outright sale and are expected to ask for around £6m for 50 per cent of his rights
