Secco: "We Are Not Looking For Left Fullbacks"


While the team continues to work hard on the field in Pinzolo under the keen eyes of Ciro Ferrara and his staff, the management continues to work on the transfer market to make the team stronger. Alessio Secco is a constant presence in Val Rendena and is always in close contact with the team and with one eye open on the market.

The sports director spoke of the transfer market on Juventus Channel to clarify certain fundamental concepts with regards to left fullbacks, Tiago, the changes in the Primavera technical staff and the youths transfer market.

"We keep reading of the possible addition of left fullbacks – declared Secco – I would like to clarify that it is not true. We are not looking for any players in that role which for next season we will entrust again to Cristian Molinaro and Paolo De Ceglie".

The same goes for the Portuguese midfielder. "I don’t know how I can deny these rumours further. Tiago is not for sale, notwithstanding all the offers we received. We believe very much in him especially in the light of a three-strong midfield as Ferrara would like".

Finally a look at the youth sector, where there have been many changes and not only regarding players. "Alessandro Nista has joined our family and will be the Primavera goalkeeper coach. During the season, it is possible that he will lend a helping hand in the first team too. This however, does not change Ciro Ferrara’s staff with Michelangelo Rampulla taking care of Buffon and the other goalkeepers".

"With regards to the youngsters we loaned out Castiglia to Cesena and are finalizing the transfer of Bianco to Modena".
