R. Kovac to Juve?
There are strong reports that Juventus have already signed a contract with Bayern Munich defender Robert Kovac.
The club had already been linked with the player earlier this week, but the latest news from the Italian papers suggests a deal has been struck for a free transfer as he will be out of contract at the end of the season.
Croatian international Kovac will turn 31 years of age in April and Calciomercato.it claims he has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with Juventus.
It will be the first Serie A experience for the central defender, who was born in Berlin and played for Bayer Leverkusen before moving to Bayern Munich in 2001. He is valued at over £3m.
Fabio Capello and director general Luciano Moggi have been revolutionising the defence since the summer, allowing Mark Iuliano to join Real Mallorca and loaning out Nicola Legrottaglie (Bologna) and Igor Tudor (Siena).
Ciro Ferrara is set to retire at the end of the current campaign and Paolo Montero is also moving on after spending most of this season on the bench.
Milanista said:For a team like Juve, i think they can sign better imo.
julien said:you're wrong here milanista. robert kovac is a bit underrated, but delivers quality work in the munich central defence at the moment. remember the first match between arsenal and bayern two weeks ago?
arsenal were missing the extraordinary moments of henry in that game, who had no real bond to the game and was performing as if he wasn't on the pitch at all, and that was mainly due to kovac's excellent marking. i think he'd be a good buy, reliable, good in the air and not too expensive what more can you ask for?
Juventus v Real preview
This is the preview.Real Madrid travel to Juventus protecting a slender 1-0 lead from the first leg in Spain.Los Merengues will be hopeful of progress and have been making positive noises ahead of the game, but will still have memories of their 3-1 defeat at the Stadio delle Alpi two years ago fresh in their minds.Victory that night was enough to see the Turin giants through despite Madrid going into the game with a one-goal advantage.
Juve warmed up for Wednesday's game with an important 2-1 victory at Roma last weekend, their second straight league win. However, the hosts will once again be without inspirational Czech midfielder Pavel Nedved who is still recovering from concussion caused by a clash with Raul Bravo in the first leg.
Manuele Blasi is suspended and should be replaced by Alessio Tacchinardi, while French striker David Trezeguet is likely to start on the bench having not regained full fitness following 'flu.
Boss Fabio Capello believes Real will prove a tough nut to crack as he feels the Primera titans have tightened up considerably under the stewardship of Wanderley Luxemburgo.
"I have seen Madrid's recent games and they are a completely different side compared to the start of the season," Capello said.
"They are better organised and more focused in defence and are extremely dangerous when they break. We have to attack but we have to do it carefully."
Real's Zinedine Zidane will be ready to face his old club having overcome a groin strain.
There is also good news of strike duo Raul and Michael Owen who have overcome a stomach bug and a bout of 'flu respectively, although Owen is likely to start the night amongst the substitutes with Ronaldo and Raul leading the line.
David Beckham is expected to be passed fit despite picking up a back complaint that forced him off in last weekend's 1-1 draw in Valencia.
Former Everton star Thomas Gravesen seems sure to be drafted back into Real's starting XI to add some bite in midfield with Guti making way from the team that started in Valencia.
Milanista said:Hes an ok defender, but against a weak Arsenal who have never been impressive in Europe. I thought Juve were looking for someone like Campbell or Bonera.
