JUVENTUS boss Didier Deschamps is desperate to sign
Liverpool ace Steven Gerrard. The fallen giants are set for an
immediate return to Italy's top flight after being relegated for
their involvement in the match-fixing scandal. And Deschamps
insists he will rebuild his squad with the best players in the
world.
Deschamps said: "If we have a chance of getting Gerrard, then Ill
personally ride to the airport on a bicycle to pick him up! I wont
risk any delays! "Juventus have to aim for players like him if we
want to make that leap up in quality.
In order to see a great Juventus the fans must be patient for at
least another two or three years. "The club is about to set out its
economic plan and important investments are predicted. "We will
sign three of four world class players, but you cannot rebuild the
side we had in the space of a year."
SunSport Online exclusively revealed last week that Liverpool boss
Rafa Benitez wants Juve hitman David Trezeguet to replace bad-boy
Craig Bellamy. And Deschamps admits he is unsure of the Frenchman's
future in Italy.
"Trezeguets future depends on his motivation and desire. "He only
has one year left on his contract, so it is a complex issue. "Wed
need a striker who can guarantee at least 20 goals per season, but
there arent many of them around."
