Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri confirms “Simone Zaza is in London” ahead of his West Ham move.
It was reported last night that the Bianconeri had accepted a bid for the striker, with general manager Beppe Marotta admitting that a deal is close.
“I’ll start first with those who aren’t called-up,” Allegri began his pre-Lazio Press conference by saying.
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri confirms “Simone Zaza is in London” ahead of his West Ham move.
It was reported last night that the Bianconeri had accepted a bid for the striker, with general manager Beppe Marotta admitting that a deal is close.
“I’ll start first with those who aren’t called-up,” Allegri began his pre-Lazio Press conference by saying.
“Those are Zaza, who is in London and has the possibility of going to West Ham, [Luca] Marrone who is another player on the way out and [Leonardo] Bonucci for personal reasons.”
Allegri was then asked about yesterday’s Champions League draw, which sees his side face Sevilla, Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb.
“The only draw I’m interested in right now is the one which was made in July and which told us that tomorrow, the second match, we’ll play Lazio.
“By the way they’re playing very well, winning a nice game with Atalanta – Bergamo is always a tough place to go – by scoring four goals and showing good condition.
“Tomorrow we’ll play at 6, it’ll be a very difficult match but we have to do everything to bring home the three points.
“Returning to talk about the Champions League, Sevilla is the only team in the last 40 years which was won the same trophy [the Europa League] three times.
“How will we play them? I don’t know how we’ll play Sevilla, because if I’d known that I’d have already seen the draw, I’d have seen it before the start of the season.
“Otherwise I’d have to watch every match from all the 32 teams competing in the Champions League.
“No, I don’t know how we’ll play them. [Jorge] Sampaoli is a great Coach, he has different characteristics from [Unai] Emery.
“They’re a good team, but we’ll talk about it later. There’s the international break, we’ll go on holiday then we’ll discuss it when we get back.
“It’s nice, because after the holiday there are seven games one after the other.”
