JUVE TARGET KILY GONZALEZ

The Argentinian international has long been linked with a switch to Serie A and, after another impressive season at La Mestalla, the time could be right for him to join one of the Italian superpowers.

The European Cup finalists' press spokesman has affirmed to planetfootball.com that nothing has been confirmed but the 26-year-old may take advantage of the fact he is clearly one of the best left-sided midfielders in the game, at the moment.

After learning his trade with Rosario Central and Boca Juniors in his native Argentina, Kily Gonzalez made an impact in La Liga with Real Zaragoza, but he has come into his own with Valencia under the expert guidance of his compatriot Hector Cuper.

"In my country everybody talked about the Italian championship as the strongest," the midfielder said a short time ago. "But now the Spanish is much more spectacular and wonderful. I am fine here, I have achieved all my aims and life is not all about money."

However, Juve are making a concerted effort in a bid to get their man.
