Juventus will make a surprise move for Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery after they were granted a healthy transfer kitty for the summer, according to Il Corriere Dello Sport.
The club announced good profits during their board meeting on Friday as high-powered chiefs gathered around the table to discuss plans to go forward.
Roberto Bettega and Alessio Secco, who are in charge of overseeing transfers, are said to be happy with the outcome after being promised cash to spend during the next transfer session.
It means Franck Ribery is no longer just a dream in Turin and the Bianconeri are likely to fight Real Madrid and Barcelona to sign him.
However, Bayern want nothing less than €40 million for their French attacker. Despite a strong interest from Spain, Juve will not be discouraged and a lucrative bid is expected. |
