The Italian international is out until 2013 after suffering an anterior cruciate injury for the second time during the 2011/12 campaign and is available on a reduced price.
After a sensational 2010/12 campaign that saw him hitting the back of the net 32 times for Villarreal, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027 has had a turnaround to forget.
The prolific striker tore his anterior cruciate ligament in October 2011, and suffered the agony of the same injury in training last month when he was about to make his first team comeback.
Rossi’s absence has hit Villarreal where it hurts the most, the Yellow Submarine going thought the ignominy of demotion to the Spanish Segunda Division B.
El Madrigal-based club’s much documented financial problems have come into play, resulting in the former Manchester United trainee being put on the market by his employers.
Reflecting on the situation, Rossi’s representative, Federico Pastorello, downplayed the Italian’s injury scare and claimed that he is now an even more enticing prospect for prospective employers.
Pastorello stated that the 25-year-old is now available on a cut price deal, which is a drastic reduction on his valuation last year.
Continuing on the topic at hand, he added that paying for Rossi’s wages will not be a waste as they will be making an investment on a player who has a proven his pedigree at the highest level and has an uncanny ability to bring his best on the biggest occasions.
“Anyone who buys him today will obviously have the opportunity to deal with Villarreal at very different price-tags to the ones bandied about in the past," the agent said while responding to questions posed by Radio Kiss Kiss. "It’s only natural this player
can be an appetising prospect.”
“Clearly paying wages for someone who cannot play before March 2013 represents an investment for the future.”
“I am convinced if someone approaches the matter this way, then we can work out the timing and methodology.”
“I am in continual contact with Villarreal, so if there were to be any proposals then we’d talk them over."
With an unforeseen future in the Segunda Division D on their hands, Villarreal will have to sell their most valuable possession.
