HAMSIK FOR JUVE ?

Napoli ace Marek Hamsik has long been a target for clubs on the peninsula, but the Slovak’s agent has revealed there is also interest from abroad.

The former Brescia midfielder has been impressive for the Azzurri in the past two seasons and although the Partenopei do not wish to sell him, the situation could be very different if it was the player himself who asked for a transfer.

“There are so many clubs after him,” said agent Jurelaj Venglos.

“Still I cannot say the names of the teams interested. Juventus may be one of them but I cannot say anything.”

According to reports the Bianconeri have already offered Napoli £13m as well as Vincenzo Iaquinta in a part-exchange deal.

In Turin, ‘Marekiaro’ – as they call him at the San Paolo – would be the perfect replacement for Pavel Nedved, who is on the verge of retirement.

“Next month I will go to Italy to see him. We will talk about the future but I haven’t arranged a meeting with President Dino De Laurentiis yet,” added the agent.

“I honestly don’t know whether he will stay or go but in football everything is possible.”

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Bianconeri are also following Atletico Madrid ace Maxi Rodriguez for next season. Like for Hamsik, the price range would exceed £15m.
