Gilberto: I Want Juve - 23 Nov 2007
Out-of-favour Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva has admitted that he would willingly move to Juventus.
The Brazilian star has lost his Arsenal starting place to Matthieu Flamini and is looking for a move away from the Emirates Stadium.
Juventus have long been linked with the 2002 World Cup winner, and it is no secret that they are looking to sign a top-class centre midfielder.
“I would willingly go to Turin,” Gilberto told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Juve are a prestigious club and they have already overcome their problems following their demotion to Serie B.
“I would adapt myself well to the Italian league, however Juve should know that I have no intention of starting a war with Arsenal.”
Gilberto also revealed his admiration for two of the symbols of the current Juventus side; Gianluigi Buffon and Alessandro Del Piero.
“Buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world and it is true that he is a symbol of Juve.
Del Piero is a player with large prestige on the international stage. As for me, well I do not have the feet of a Ronaldinho, but I do know how to organise a team,” the 31-year-old concluded. |
