Juventus deal for Andrea Pirlo puts move for Alberto Aquilani in doubt(Guardian)

Juventus have confirmed the signing of Andrea Pirlo on a three-year contract in a move which could jeopardise the proposed permanent deal for Liverpool's Alberto Aquilani.

Pirlo, the 32-year-old Italy midfielder, is ending a 10-year stay at Milan, and passed a medical in Turin on Tuesday.

A statement from Juventus read: "Andrea Pirlo is officially a Juventus player. The signed contract will run from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2014."

Pirlo, 32, has been one of Milan's most consistent performers for the past decade, helping them win two Champions League titles. He also won the World Cup with Italy in 2006.

Pirlo struggled with injuries and form this season, though, and made just 12 Serie A starts as Milan won the title.

His signing could now reduce the chance of Juventus also completing a deal for Aquilani, who spent the season at the club on loan from Liverpool. However Aquilani's agent insisted he believes a deal will still be done in the coming days.

"The percentage that Aquilani will remain at Juventus is above 50%," Franco Zavaglia told Gazzetta dello Sport. "He has three years left on his contract with Liverpool. I believe that in a couple of days the two clubs will reach an agreement."

Juventus, who failed to qualify for European football next season after finishing seventh in Serie A, had refused to pay the asking price of £16m demanded by Liverpool for the player's signature. However, Zavaglia is confident an agreement will be reached.

"Juventus should have paid £16m for the buy-out clause but I don't think there will be any problems regarding the financial aspects. I believe within the next week everything will be resolved."

Guardianはユベントスがアンドレア・ピルロと契約を結んだことで、リバプールのアルベルト・アクイラーニとの移籍交渉が暗礁に乗り上げるのではないかと心配している。

ピルロのミランでの１０年の業績を箇条書きで書き連ね、ユベントスはピルロを手に入れたことで満足してしまうのではないかという意見に対し、アクイラーニの代理人は５０％の確率でユーベに移籍するとしている。

買い取りオプションの行使こそ、放棄してしまったが、ユベントスは未だにリバプールと交渉中。代理人は来週にも移籍が成立するのではないかとコメントしている。

１６００万ユーロの買い取りオプションのディスカウントに失敗したユーベは、買い取りオプションを行使せず、新たな交渉で値下げを交渉している。適正価格で買い取りが成立すれば、代理人はアクイラーニとピルロの共存は可能だと主張する。

もちろん、両者に故障リスクがあるのは事実。ターンオーバーが上手く使えれば、ユベントスの中盤の質はあがるはず。

ジュゼッペ・マロッタも土台は出来た。あとは実力者を４人ほど補強するだけと言っているだけに。

ユベントスの交渉はさらに続く。
