I’m going to put my balls on the block on this one.
Melo hasn’t signed for Juve, as everyone seems to think.
SkyItalia have been stubbornly ‘breaking’ this story pretty much every day this week, and they have shown to be talking complete bollies every time.
It appears that Melo is now in negotiations with both Arsenal and Juventus, and will essentially have to choose between them.
A no-brainer, you might think, but you’ve got to remember that not all footballers have quite the same Anglo-centric perspective on which league is the place to be right now.
I’ve personally never understood the appeal of playing for a club like Juventus, representing confirmed cheats and swindlers in a half-empty and entirely soulless stadium miles outside Turin, but then Trezeguet and Nedved never seemed to mind.
