Real v Juve for Hamsik
Wednesday 4 February, 2009

Juventus and Real Madrid are ready to do battle for Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik, according to Press reports.

Hamsik arrived at the Stadio San Paolo from Brescia in 2007 and has become a firm favourite in Naples.

Over the last 12 months, several big clubs have made approaches for Hamsik, but President Aurelio De Laurentiis has insisted that the Slovak star is not for sale.

However, Tuttosport insists that Juve see Hamsik as the successor to Pavel Nedved and will table the kind of bid that De Laurentiis cannot refuse.

The deal could take the form of a part exchange, including Vincenzo Iaquinta and Marcello Zalayeta.

But Spanish giants Real Madrid have also kept an eye on Hamsik and are said to be ready to join a bidding war at the end of the season.

Hamsik has played over 50 games for Napoli and has found the net 16 times.
