English bid for
D'Agostino
Udinese have revealed that an English club has
made an offer for playmaker Gaetano D'Agostino.
The 27-year-old enjoyed a tremendous 2008/9 campaign and made
his debut for Italy in the recent friendly victory over Northern
Ireland.
His performances did not go unnoticed and Udinese are now
considering two bids.
"We have one offer from England and another one from an
important Italian club," said Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo.
"Anything can happen."
Udinese had been in negotiations with Juventus but the deal fell
through because their offer was too low.
Pozza admits he was unimpressed by the proposal, which came
after D'Agostino had expressed a desire to join Juve.
"I am perplexed by the low value set by Juventus executives for
the player," he explained.
"The difference between the asking price and the offer is
huge.
"I have the impression that Juve have not thought about the real
value of our midfielder.
Pozzo added: "The will of the player is to go to Juve and if I
could I would try to make him happy.
"But if Juve really want to get D'Agostino they should be able
to make a sacrifice.
"Juve should not take advantage of the enthusiasm of the
player.
"Once they are able to comprehend it, they will pay the right
amount. It's all in their hands."
