Juve Working On Appiah Deal – Agent

Appiah is currently a free agent after he last week negotiated an exit from his club of the last three years, Fenerbahce.

The 27-year-old has since come out in public and declared that it is his dream to rejoin Juventus, who he represented from 2003 to 2005, before joining Fenerbahce for €8m.

There have since been reports in the press that a deal is imminent, especially because Juventus are looking to sign a centre midfielder before the transfer window closes on Monday.

However, the Old Lady will have to move swiftly, as Appiah has received numerous requests from England, Scotland and Spain for his services.

“We would like things to be sorted out as quickly as possible and a contract could be signed before next week,” said the Ghanaian’s agent Frank Trimboli.

“While I am saying that we are in no hurry, it is up to the club to make things happen.

“I have received a concrete offer from Racing Santander and Portsmouth are calling us practically every day. West Ham, Celtic and Everton have also expressed an interest.

“However, Juve are working on a solution and we will keep waiting because the lad hasn't hidden his desire to play for the Old Lady.”

Appiah has also played in Italy for Udinese, Brescia and Parma.
