Zebina pens Juve deal Wednesday 19 May, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Zebina confirmed he will sign a three-year contract with Juventus after a move to Milan fell through.
“It is an honour to play for the Bianconeri,” the Roma defender told the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’. “I have only ever scored one goal in my entire career and that was against Juventus, so perhaps it was a sign.”
The Frenchman netted the spectacular volley in the closing stages of the 2-2 draw at the Stadio Delle Alpi in September, but has often been criticised for his performances.
Out of contract with Roma on June 30, 25-year-old Zebina had been heavily linked with Italian Champions Milan.
But when they opted to snap up Jaap Stam from Lazio instead, Juventus courted him in a bid to solve their defensive worries.
The deal will be made official by the two clubs on Thursday, but there are few doubts the move will be completed this week.
This year the Turin giants have had their worst defensive record for many years by conceding 42 goals – more than double those let in by Roma.
Zebina is a veteran of the Serie A scene since joining Cagliari in 1998, while he moved to Roma in the summer of 2000.
