Juve up for Antti?
Thursday 10 July, 2008
Juventus are reportedly considering a move for Fulham goalkeeper Antti Niemi as they look for an understudy to Gigi Buffon.
In Buffon, the Old Lady have one of the surest shot-stoppers in the world but they have lacked a reliable stand-in.
Emanuele Belardi filled in last season, but he didn’t inspire confidence in his four Serie A starts and Juve are keen to find an alternative.
Australian international Mark Schwarzer refused the move to join Fulham, but that may ironically open up the option of Niemi.
Having lost his starting place, Niemi is now facing the prospect of a season on the bench at Craven Cottage.
Niemi is seen by many as the greatest Finnish goalkeeper in history but at the age of 36 may be happy to warm a bench in Italy rather than London.
