Zaza: 'Considering West Ham'

By Football Italia staff

Simone Zaza’s father confirmed Juventus won’t sell in Italy, gives West Ham “serious consideration,” but claims Wolfsburg changed the terms.

On Saturday Juve director Beppe Marotta told Mediaset Premium that Zaza had “10 days to find a new club,” as he is not part of Max Allegri’s plans.

“I think it’s important to point out that the only people who can represent him in negotiations are me and his dear friend Francesco Lopapa, so anything else is invented,” Antonio Zaza told Gazzamercato.

The transfer to Wolfsburg seemed imminent and he even travelled to Germany for a tour of the club facilities, but it suddenly fell apart.

“Simone went to Germany with his friend to see the situation in person, but we found on the table a different contractual proposal to the one we’d been promised.

“It was a long way off our expectations. It’s unlikely the matter can be re-opened with these conditions.”

Napoli and Milan are known to be interested, but Juventus would prefer he go to West Ham United.

“West Ham are a solution we’d appreciate and represent something more concrete. We’ll have to see what Juventus do and expect news soon.

“We are taking London into serious consideration as his next destination. Simone still has four years on his contract and would happily remain in Turin to give his contribution.

“Juventus don’t want to sell Simone to a direct rival. Milan, Napoli and Roma would be the options, we’ll see what happens.”
