Juventus have met with Diego Forlan’s agent, Daniel Fabian Bolotnicoff and are advancing in a deal to get the player to play for the Old Lady.The dialogue between Juve officials and Bolotnicoff took place at the Juventus headquarters and are said to be making good progress with the transfer of Forlan. The main discussion revolved around Forlan’s demand of 4.5 million Euros per annum and the Old Lady’s director, Giuseppe Marotta seems to be ready to entertain the requirement.
Diego Forlan is a Uruguayan footballer who currently plays for the Spanish club Atletico Madrid. The former tennis player in his youth started off his career as a professional footballer at Independiente. But his skills didn’t go unnoticed and soon he was a part of the elites in the Premier League, Manchester United, at a transfer fee of 6.9 million Pounds.
The striker played the most crucial role in many wins for the Red Devils. He scored goals when the team needed him the most, giving many crucial wins to his club. He was known to be the one player to destroy the defensive lines with his unmatched ability to drive the ball and produce a powerful finish.
Forlan’s reputation caught a lot of attention and clubs all across Europe were in a race to buy the forward. In 2004, he joined Villarreal CF, a Spanish club and in just 106 appearances, scored 54 goals for his team at a rate of just about more than one goal per match.
His current club, Atletico Madrid, agreed on a fee of a staggering 21 million Euros and added the striker to the squad in 2007. The striker has kept the clubs expectations intact by putting up the same goal scoring form for the side scoring 73 goals in just 119 matches. He is considered to be the most valuable asset at the Red and Whites for being the key player in almost all of the victories to the team.
The striker bought Madrid another victory in 2010/11 season winning European Super Cup by beating Champions League winners Inter Milan. Although the season has gone a bit slow for Forlan, but still he has managed to find the net most of the time.
Forlan’s move to the Italian club Juventus means that the Old Lady will have departures in its current team. Marco Storari, Amauri and Mohamed Sissoko are the current players that will exit Juve and the transfer money would be helpful in the deal with Diego Forlan.
