Pasqual unlikely to join Juve



Juventus target Manuel Pasqual is unlikely to leave Fiorentina after being offered a new contract, according to his agent.

The 27-year-old had been identified by the Bianconeri as a viable solution to their problems at full-back.

Cristian Molinaro and Paolo De Ceglie are already struggling to be fit in time for next season and Juventus desperately need an alternative.

Pasqual is relatively young, has Champions League experience and would have been cheap as his existing contract expires next year.

“Fiorentina called me last week and told me that the club is interested in proposing Pasqual a new contract,” his agent, Gastone Rizzato, told Calciomercato.com.

“I haven't spoken with him because he is now on holiday. I said to Pantaleo Corvino that as soon as he returns at the end of the week we would meet and begin negotiations.

“Obviously we will not resolve everything in the first meeting, but we have a lot of time. If Fiorentina were to receive an offer in the meantime that might change their mind, then they will inform us and we will evaluate the proposal.

“However, as of today, Fiorentina have not said anything of this kind to me. Anyway it makes us happy that Pasqual is wanted by one of the biggest teams in Italy and Europe even if he already finds himself in a big club,” Rizzato concluded.
