ZEMEN SNAPS UP AMORUSO

Zeman has actually paid Juve the fee for half of his ownership, with Juve maintaining a 50 percent interest in the striker, and his situation will be reviewed again next year. It is being reported that the 26-year-old will collect around £1.5 million over the next season.

Juventus loaned Amoruso to Perugia last term and he played superbly against his owners in the last match of the Serie A championship in a 1-0 victory that helped to ensure that Juve lost the Scudetto to Lazio at the death.

Consequently, many supporters do not want to see Amoruso reappear in the black and white shirt in Turin.

Czech coach Zeman has already secured the signing of defender Afolabi from Standard Liege and Fabio Pecchia from Torino, but he is still hopeful of buying Chelsea`s Gianfranco Zola and Manchester United goalkeeper Massimo Taibi.

Napoli and Chelsea are negotiating for the sale of Zola, who also has a lucrative offer from Fenerbahce, and a fee of around £5 million is being suggested, which is something of a surprise considering the ex-Italian international is 33 years old.
