Baiocco Excited By Juve Challenge
Thursday 24th January 2002
Midfielder Davide Baiocco has vowed to prove himself at the Stadio delle Alpi when he joins the Turin club from Perugia in June.
"For me this is a great challenge and I want to work as hard as I can," he said.
Terms of the transfer were concluded on Thursday with Juve paying �3.3 million for Baiocco as well as letting Uruguayan midfielder Fabian O'Neill join Perugia immediately.
"I'm happy," Baiocco said. "I can talk now about Juventus because president Gaucci has told me that my transfer is official.
"I hope this move will help everybody. For me it's a great challenge and I want to work as hard as I can to make it work.
"I will join some of the best players in the world. It's the key point of my career. I'll try to be ready for June, but before then, I'll give my heart to Perugia in the fight against relegation."
