LAZIO CONFIRM JUVE NEDVED OFFER

The Czech Republic international, who joined Lazio in 1996, has yet to agree a new deal with the Biaconzzuri and is currently holding talks about extending his stay at the Stadio Olimpico.

A number of top clubs across Europe including Manchester United have been linked with a move for the 28-year-old and Arsenal have now reportedly joined the chase for the right-sided midfielder.

Juventus remain favourites to sign the player should he not sign a new deal and they have made a £19 million bid for his services.

It has been reported that the player's demands for a new deal have lead Cragnotti to listen to offers for the attacking star and the president hinted he may have to sell him if the deal is too good to turn down.

"I have received an offer for Nedved from Juventus," said Cragnotti.

"No player is untouchable. There are always offers for top players and top clubs want only the best available."

"I would prefer not to sell any of my players, but the club has to look after its finances and safeguard its wage policy," added Cragnotti

Juventus are keen to bring the former Sparta Prague ace to the Stadio Delli Alpi as they plan an assault on next season's Champions League.
