Juventus FC looking to sign Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Italian Serie A club, Juventus FC are looking for a striker to reinforce their forward block. The Old Lady of Italian football are rumoured to have reignited their interest in Schalke 04’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175. Juve were chasing the signature of Sevilla hitman,
Luis Fabiano earlier this week, but a deal for the Brazilian has hit the rocks, prompting Bianconeri hierarchy to look for alternatives.
The Spanish side are not interested in loaning their star striker to the Italians as they demand 9 Million Euros for the player’s signature. Juve are quite understandably unwilling to pay such a high sum for a 31-year-old.
Juventus director, Giuseppe Marotta is trying to improve the attacking department of the team and is looking for a new face to join them. At present, the White-Blacks stand sixth in the Italian Serie A. With injuries ruling out http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Quagliarella-c13194 and Vincenzo
Iaquinta for much of the remaining season, the team has been left severely lacking in attack. 36-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Amauri-c5381 are the only striking options available to Luigi Del Neri; the Juventus coach.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, having acquired a wealth of experience playing for AC Milan, Real Madrid and the Dutch National team, will bring a penalty box presence to the Bianconeri attack. Reports indicate that Schalke are interested in signing out-of-favour Bianconeri
midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mohamed-Sissoko-c26386, hence, a player exchange deal is on the cards. Juve can also throw in some cash to sweeten the deal. Therefore, it is likely that the Dutch will be packing his bag for Italy.
The 27-year-old joined the Bundesliga club last year when he exited Milan. Huntelaar also plays for the national Dutch team as a Striker and the player has earned 41 appearances in which he managed 25 goals for his nation. He was member of the Dutch World
Cup squad that marched to the final of the tournament, but eventually lost the final by a 1 – 0 score line. Sadly, Klaas-Jan wasn’t a part of that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mark-van-Bommel-c24148 led team.
The Zebras also have a contingency plan if the deal goes down. They are eyeing their former player, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adrian-Mutu-c3742 as a third option. However, Fiorentina are currently rejecting any Italian offers as they state that they won’t be
selling their Romanian forward to any Italian club. The former Juventus player joined Viola in 2006, and has produced some excellent performances in the purple jersey.
