Rossi: Juve, make me an offer!
Saturday 13 June, 2009

Giuseppe Rossi has sent out an appeal for Juventus to make an offer to Villarreal so that he can replace David Trezeguet.

“I too heard about this possibility,” confessed the Azzurri star in this morning's Tuttosport.

“I have a long contract with Villarreal and am happy there, but I must confess my dream is to return to Italy.

“It's up to my club to sell me and the two sides to come to an agreement. Right now I need to stay focused on the Confederations Cup and take my chances.”

The youngster has travelled Europe since Manchester United poached him as a teenager from Parma's youth system.

Rossi returned briefly to the Stadio Tardini, but complained no big Italian clubs tried to sign him on a permanent basis, so he went to Spain with Villarreal.

His price-tag is now said to be around £17m, as he scored 12 goals in La Liga this season and the deal does not expire until 2013.

Juventus have hinted they could release Trezeguet to bring in a younger striker and Rossi fits the bill.

Clubs interested in Trez include Lyon, Monaco and Roma, but Juve wish to bring in at least £7m for the veteran.
