Amauri staying at Juventus

That's right, everyone's favourite Italian-Brazilian-Italian is set to stay at Juventus for the last season of his contract. Despite assorted offers from various Turkish sides, Marseille and Palermo, the Brazilian has once again expressed his desire to stay at Juventus and prove himself. His charming agent had plenty to say on the matter:

“Every player has the right to accept or turn down a transfer,” agent Giampiero Pocetta told Sky Sport Italia.

“The player has evaluated the offers on the table, thanked everyone, but decided to stay at Juventus.

“It is inelegant of some to use Amauri’s position for their own ends. He just wants to stay at Juventus and prove himself with hard work in training every single day.

“After all, every athlete has the right to work and train in the club he is contracted to. At this moment I think we need collaboration between clubs and players, as this digging in of heels is helping nobody.”
