Hey there Graeme.
Since you seem to be the only one here interested in Chiellini this reply is dedicated to you
Davide Lippi (Chiellini's and Blasi's agent) will meet with Juve officials today to find out what are club's plans regarding Chiellini and Blasi. Manchester City is after both of them (looks like Eriksson really wants them) and today we'll finally find out if Juve wants to sell or not. Reports suggest that ManCity is ready to offer ~14m euro for both of them (10m for Chiellini, 4 for Blasi)
Here's what the agent said :
"Manchester City are interested in both players and I am going to meet Juventus to see if these moves are possible.
Both players would be happy to play in the Premier League and Manchester City, but it all depends on Juventus.
"They both like English football and the fact Eriksson is there would be a big factor for them to go there.
"However it depends on the price and whether Juventus want to sell them or not."
I don't have any doubts that Juve will accept the offer for Blasi (he's the 5th choice in his position and since there's no Europe for Juve this year, i'm sure they wouldn't reject the offer) but i really don't know what Ranieri thinks about Chiellini and i don't know if he counts on him or not.
As for Milan going after Chiellini...... i don't think he's in Milan plans and looking at the last 2 summer mercato's, Juve isn't keen on doing business with Milan. I doubt Juve will sell to Milan !
