Ballack linked to Juve move
Tuesday 13 December, 2005
Bayern Munich’s recent anger towards Juventus, for their ‘Mafioso’ approach to transfer dealings, appears to have gained added justification with suggestions that Michael Ballack could be on his way to Turin.
Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently declared that he would no longer have any dealings with Juve general director Luciano Moggi, whom he likened to the ‘Mafia’ for his alleged flouting of FIFA regulations.
Moggi managed to acquire Robert Kovac from Bayern for free last season and has also persuaded full-back Willy Sagnol to join Juve when his contract with the German champions runs out in the summer.
Now it appears that Rummenigge’s anger towards Moggi is rooted in the suspicion that the Bianconeri have been working behind the scenes during recent weeks in order to sign Michael Ballack, when his deal expires in June.
However, the Italian Press has suggested that Juve’s interest in Sagnol has really been a smokescreen for an ulterior motive – namely, the capture of the 29-year-old midfielder.
To add insult to injury, Sebastien Deisler and Ze Roberto are two more Bayern players who will be available for nothing at the end of the season and whom are said to be coveted by Juve Coach Fabio Capello.
