Zaragoza Chase Argentine Ace Esnaider
Monday 20th November 2000
Spanish club Real Zaragoza are attempting to sign unsettled forward Juan
Esnaider from Juventus. Club president Alfonso Solans revealed: "We want
him. We are going to have talks with Juventus and we hope we can do a deal."
Zaragoza are looking for a goalscorer to replace Savo Milosevic, who left
for Parma in the summer. And Solans added: "As far as we know Esnaider wants
to move to Zaragoza, but Juventus are slowing down the deal. I can't
understand why."
Esnaider moved to Juventus in January 1999 from Espanyol, but with so much
competition for places at the Stadio delle Alpi, he has rarely seen
first-team action.
Picking up a hamstring injury last season didn't help.
