'No signing is impossible' for Juve
Thursday 26 March, 2009

Juventus chief Giovanni Cobolli Gigli claims “no signing is impossible” this summer, but he's keeping his cards close to his chest.

The Old Lady look likely to finish second in Serie A this season as Inter have a commanding seven-point advantage.

If the Bianconeri are to overhaul their rivals next term they will need to invest heavily in the summer and they have been linked with Diego, Antonio Cassano and David Silva recently.

“Jean-Claude Blanc has always stated that our objective is to find a replacement for Pavel Nedved,” Cobolli Gigli told Sky Sport Italia.

“Nothing is impossible, but I can't reveal any names. We will balance the books this year thanks to the Champions League, which is important for the future of the club.

“It's obvious that there will be some action in the transfer market, but there will be no major departures.

“Every club has to find the right balance between income and expenditure.”

The Juve supremo concluded by discussing this season's Scudetto race.

“We have a 30 per cent chance of winning the title,” he calculated. “We still have a direct confrontation with Inter and even though our chances are quite slim we still believe.”
