Juve To Swap Trez For Eto’o?

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are pondering whether to swap prolific striker David Trezeguet for Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o.

Trezeguet has been heavily linked with a move to Barca all summer, and the striker is said to be high up on new coach Josep Guardiola’s summer shopping list.

Although Juve have always publicly stated that there is no chance of selling the Frenchman, the Italian press continues to report that it is not certain he will still be in Turin next season.

Trezeguet has not been at his sharpest in pre-season, and has been overshadowed so far by Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta, who have grabbed five goals between them in the last two matches.

The 31-year-old is said to be unsettled, and it is possible he would consider a re-union with good friend Thierry Henry, were the possibility of a move to Barcelona arise.

Tuttosport claims that an exchange deal involving Trezeguet and Samuel Eto’o is not out of the question, as Guardiola would prefer Trez to other forward alternatives Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Adebayor.

Eto’o is looking highly likely to leave Camp Nou this summer in search of a new challenge away from Spain. The Cameroon hitman, who has scored 89 goals in just 136 games during his time at Barca, would welcome a move to Italy.
