D'Ago deal means sacrifice
Sunday 21 June, 2009

Juventus will have to make Sebastian Giovinco and Claudio Marchisio part of any deal for Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino.

Tuttosport understands the Zebrette are holding out for £12.5m plus 50 per cent of both Giovinco and Marchisio.

The two players would not move to Udinese immediately, though, and would remain available to Ciro Ferrara.

Giovinco is apparently unwilling to countenance the deal.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder either wants to stay at Juventus or be sold outright to a team capable of offering him Champions League football.

Alternatively, Juventus will have to meet Udinese's rather steep asking price for D'Agostino, who desperately wants to move to Turin.

If other players are not involved the Zebrette want £21m for D'Agostino, which the Bianconeri have already shelled out for Diego.

Juventus have options, though. They are being linked with Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra instead.

The Mali international would come a lot cheaper at £12m and the Bianconeri would not have to give up Giovinco and Marchisio.
