Juventus confirm talks for Vieri

New Juve boss Fabio Capello has made Vieri one of his top targets as he tries to get the club back on track after a disappointing campaign last term.

Vieri, who is currently away preparing for Euro 2004 with Italy, is thought to be keen on a move away from Inter after a fall-out with coach Alberto Zaccheroni.

Bianconeri general manger Luciano Moggi admitted talks were in progress to sign Vieri, but that a deal was far from complete as a price cannot be agreed for the tall striker.

"There is an obstacle in our path to Vieri and it is an economic one," said Moggi.

"For a move to go through you need the acceptance of three parties: the player and both clubs.

"Those who say nothing are tacitly accepting a situation, so Juve are staying silent. Seeing as Inter are also refusing to comment, I'll assume they are also making a statement of acceptance."
