Cassano in Juve sight

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has admitted the club's interest in signing Sampdoria forward Antonio Cassano this summer.

Cassano was in Turin on Sunday as Sampdoria played Juventus and performed brilliantly in a 1-1 draw at Stadio Olimpico.

The 26-year-old joined the Blucerchiati on a permanent basis last summer from Real Madrid and appears to have matured in the city of Genoa, with the notoriously temperamental player having previously fallen out with the coaching staff at AS Roma and Real.

Juventus have long been admirers of Cassano, though, and they are planning a way to lure him to Turin at the end of the season.

"Antonio is a youngster who is becoming a man," Gigli told Il Corriere Dello Sport. "He is a nice person and an excellent player.

"Our sporting director (Alessio Secco) has spoken about our potential buys for next season, and Cassano is one of the players that we are considering."
