Mercato; Co-ownership deals resolved

By: agiamba | June 25th, 2009

So this is the week when the teams start to resolve co-ownership or exercise contractual options, or else it goes to the envelopes, in which case we hire Moggi as a consultant for the week. Deals resolved thus far this week after the jump.

Domenico Criscito-

GENOVA – Il Genoa Cricket & Football Club comunica di aver esercitato, in base ai diritti di sua competenza, l’opzione per l’acquisizione dalle società Juventus Football Club e Us Città di Palermo dei calciatori Domenico Criscito e Bosko Jankovic

GENOA – Genoa Cricket and Football Club announces it has exercised, according to their jurisdictional rights, the option of acquiring rights from the teams Juventus Football Club and Us Città di Palermo for the players Domenico Criscito and Bosko Jankovic

Disappointing Criscito won’t be with us next season, but Secco made a decent deal here. To get co-ownership, he set a pretty high price of 7.5million euros, so Genoa payed a premium for him. It was obvious that we weren’t that interested in him and that he wanted to stay in Genoa, so we get a nice chunk of cash and retain half of his rights. Hope you succeed in Europe next year, and hope to see you back in Turin someday Domenico. (Side note- Mimmo is getting married July 7th, congrats)

Raffaele Palladino- This one was obvious. Our frontline is crammed, and we’re not playing with wingers next season, hence, no room for Palla. Despite a low goal return, partially due to playing wide, Raffaele has done well with Genoa and the two teams agreed to renew his co-ownership for the next season.

Davide Lanzafame- Similar situation to Palladino, in that there’s no space for him at Juve, so Palermo and Juventus have agreed to renew the co-ownership terms for the following season. I hope Palermo gives him a run-out, though I’m not holding my breath, because the kid has some real talent. Maybe we should loan him out to Bari again, now that they are in Serie A.

Andrè Cuneaz- Who, you might say? A young midfielder from the Valle d’Aosta who we signed from a local team two years ago, his co-ownership has been renewed with Mantova of Serie B.

Another two youngsters raised in the Juventus youth sector will not be returning to base. These are goalkeeper Andrea Pozzato who will remain at Canavese after having renewed his contract up to 2012 and midfielder Matteo Cavagna who was transferred to Ravenna permanently.

ah ok..thanks for clearing that up for me...
alessio

Hadn't seen that, but I'll be paying more attention today.

D'Agostino deal looks like it's dead. Udinese wants a significantly larger slice of dough, Ferrara wants all transfers concluded by training camp, and negotiations have ended so I doubt we'll go in again. Shame, now Secco is probably going to pick up yet another mediocre DM, this time from Africa, or Ledesma who is decent but never convinced me as world-class.
roberto

Andre Santos anyone? Well, tonight against the U.S. a few Bianconeri will be watching.

As I've said before....D'Agostino should be a priority. He will add a ton to our team. Presumably, we're getting Grosso on the cheap and though we need a right-back, I don't see us moving on one. We've got the cash, spill it Secco! Rather overpay a bit then end up with Diarra.

thanks johonna!
sissoko man love

D'agostino deal off cause Pouslen won't leave?? Damnit Poulsen. That's the problem with coming to Italy, once you arrive it's so amazing you don't want to leave.

i was wondering why he was always wearing that plasctic thing on his nose while playing.
alessio

Here's a list of the other co-ownership situations resolved today, the only player coming back is Michele Paolucci; I don't know if that's a temporary thing or if that means he won't be going to Udinese, but apparently we now fully own him again. I wouldn't assume he's part of the first-team plans next season.

Below are all the operations finalized in the last two days in detail.

Matteo Cavagna: will remain at Ravenna.
Andrè Cuneaz: articpation with Mantova renewed.
Lorenzo Del Prete: will remain at Siena.
Tomas Guzman: will remain at Piacenza.
Davide Lanzafame: participation renewed with Palermo
Antonio Mirante: participation renewed with Sampdoria
Michele Paolucci: resolved in favour of Juventus
Andrea Pozzato: participation renewed with Canavese
Giuseppe Rizza: no agreement (to be decided by sealed offers on Monday 29th June)
Rey Volpato: will remain at Bari
Francesco Volpe: participation renewed with Livorno
Marcelo Zalayeta: participation renewed with Napoli

giovinco must be an inch off being a dwarf i swear. he might be small but he puts in some big challenges as well
Sam

http://www.juventus.com/site/e...

Soo we are keeping Michele Paolucci at juventus? Are we buying him back to sell him or is he gonna be actually playing for us next season? I know this kid has talent but Juventus quality?
Johonna

At one point, the Italian announcer said he was like a mosquito. I am sure he meant that in the best possible way.
alex

the proper pronunciation for giovinco is actually "shit hot"
roberto

Rough game for our Azzurrini. Nothing Consigli could do there.

Johonna

oh, and "sci" is she while "sce" is shay.

Probably the hardest thing for English speakers to remember is that "ch" = K, while "Ci" = Chi

There really is no true correlate for "gli" in English.
Johonna

Weston, in Italian, a "G" is soft when followed by an i or an e and hard all the other times. A hard g is like "go" while a soft g is like "Germany". Similarly, a "C" is soft when followed by an i or an e (like check), and hard all the other times (cook).

i is pronounced ee
a is ah
o is oh
u is ooo

gli is sort of a "yee" noise.

Ok?
Weston (@wpazzurri)

and foggia and legrottaglie.
Weston (@wpazzurri)

what is the proper italian pronunciation for giovinco, iaquinta, gilardino, and camoranesi? so many people are saying them wrong i dont even know what is right anymore.
Calisi

Calisi

this whole geo-vinco pronunciation is getting annoying
alessio

Yeah, that was me alex. He's a good player and has a lot of promise. I don't think Genoa will want him for next season, still young, I hope he stays at Bari.
idze

pls link for italy game
alex

whats this andrea ranocchia like that genoa have just signed alessio? was it you who said hes a good player?
vialli

good things about co-ownership are :
1. You can bought the player again if they already prove their worth and we (desperately) need it.
2. If they're not needed they can be sold to raise capital.
3. Good way to gain 1st team experience. Co-ownership players usually have better chance of playing time than loaned players.
4. Usually, the players that's on co-ownership deal have considerably good potential to become good (or great) player.

just my 2 cent :)
Jim

I believe you are right about Notts County, TeamGREASE...
o_man

Palla and Lanza are not Juve material.It's good we didn't bring them back,besides we have too many players upfront.Secco needs to understand that defense is what wins you trophies.
TeamGREASE

i believe the shirts were inspired by Notts County and NOT Forrest.

...and to say that "all our history comes from Nottingham Forest in the UK" is a bit insulting. The history of JUVENTUS has more to do than the colors of a kit.
alessio

Del Piero 10, I'll look into it, an interesting idea.
Nicolo

Del Piero 10, we need to give credit, where credit is due... we basically played Lazio's primavera team so that result does not much much at all, especially considering that out of the 3 games we played Lazio (the games that counted durring the season) they got the better of us on all 3 ocasions - yes even on the 0-0 draw.

We should buy some of Lazio's players... I believe the Juve management is already checking a few players out - Inter Style... wink wink
Del Piero 10

How good was our last game in Serie A last season, 2-0, Iaquinta scored 2, thats right, who did we play, the feeder club, lazio!!
Del Piero 10

Juve should change their strip back to a similar Nottingham Forest style in honour of this great club that founded Juve.

Forza Forest, Forza Juve
Nicolo

Forza Nottingham Forest
Del Piero 10

Ciao Juventini, Seeing as though all our history comes from Nottingham Forest in the UK do you think it would be possible to do a post every now and then on whats happening with our sister club? I would love to be kept up to date on what they are upto on the transfer market and how they progress in the league!! :-)
Nicolo

Has anyone heard the latest on the Grosso or D,Agostino deals, im dying to find out, and that sucks about criscito! FORZA JUVE!
Nnahoj

Mimmo looks so cute in that pic :-)

I think it's a bad deal, as we'll most likely have to spend more than we earned from the co-ownership deal when/if we decide to re-sign him. Anyway, Grosso for a couple years with Molinaro and hopefully De Ceglie as backups may not be so terrible. I still rate Grosso highly even at 32.
vialli

this co-ownership deal is a good way to raise money for transfer fund while at the same time juve can still retain the talented youngster. Then brought them back if needed. Hope this fund can be use to buy d'agostino without sacrificing gio, marchisio, (and PDC).
Chris

ah ok..thanks for clearing that up for me...

Their website says they "exercised their contractual option." In our loan agreement to Genoa, they paid €1million for the loan, and we sold them the right to sign half of him for €5.5mil.

I was wrong about €7.5mil, I don't remember where I read that but I just checked Juve's financial statement and it says Genoa had the right to buy half of his card for €5.5mil.
Chris

Alessio....did Genoa buy half of criscito...or did they purchase 100% of him...
agiamba

Cobolli confirmed today that Trezeguet would remain with the club. The other mercato news is the heavy rumors in the Italian press today that Fiorentina has purchased Marchionni on co-ownership for €2.5 million. That seems to be undervalueing him a bunch, don't you think? He's worth easily as much as Palladino or Lanzafame.
