Moggi's Mysterious Berlusconi Meeting...
9/8/2005 2:29:00 PM
Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi made an unprecedented appearance at the Rome headquarters of Milan patron Silvio Berlusconi’s political party Forza Italia.
Upon his exit from the meeting, Moggi refused to answer the questions the reporters had in store for him.

What could the meeting have been about? Del Piero to Milan? Moggi to Milan? or a simple meeting between friends?

Only time will tell the reasons behind this mysterious encounter, or maybe the meeting will remain another of those unsolved Italian mysteries

Hmmm wonder whats going on there...I hardly think it was a quick meeting over coffee to discuss Englands loss to N Ireland... ...

What do y´all think guys and gals?

Personally, I think Berlu wanted an introduction to Moggi´s barber...

Hopefully Berlusconi told him to pay back the favour of Abbiati by leaving Cassano to us.

Moggi to Milan?

Now that'll be something

lol Moggi to Milan! Berlusconi wants to replace Braida? HAHA.

Some of the possibilities
1) political gains for either of them.
2) Cassano to Milan? Shouldn't berlusconi approach Sensi for this?
3) Milan player(s) to Juve in exchange for lots of money or a big shot player?
4) Juve player(s) to Milan in exchange for Abbiati?
5) Stylist exchange?
6) Moggi buying Berluscon's latest music album.

What could the meeting have been about? Del Piero to Milan?

Hope not

he doens't look bad in the jersey. it would be interesting to have stolen two "icons" of our enemies - vieri and del piero from inter and juve haha. all we need next is moggi and moratti as sheva and maldini's boot shiners.

Moggi denies Berlusconi talks Friday 9 September, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus director general Luciano Moggi has dismissed reports that he met Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi on Thursday.

The transfer guru was spotted at the Palazzo Grazioli, the headquarters of Berlusconi’s Forza Italia political party, which fuelled mass speculation regarding the reason for his visit.

Whispers suggested that the two men discussed footballing matters but Moggi says he didn’t even see the Italian Prime Minister.

"I went there to see a friend," stated the Bianconeri official. "Berlusconi is not the only person in that building.

"If there were any footballing matters to discuss, then why would I go to Palazzo Grazioli for talks?"

There were also reports that Moggi left the Roman building with a book in his hand, entitled: ‘I hate Berlusconi’.

But Moggi has also denied that suggestion. "What book? I had two Rome-based newspapers in my hand," he concluded.

Milan rule out Del Piero capture
Friday 9 September, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan have again dismissed speculation linking them with a sensational swoop for Juventus symbol Alessandro Del Piero.

The club captain was already associated with a switch last month and rumours re-surfaced yesterday, following Luciano Moggi’s meeting with Rossoneri owner Silvio Berlusconi.

Vice-president Adriano Galliani confirmed that the two officials met, but denied whispers that Del Piero was the subject of the meeting.

"There is no truth in claims that they spoke about transfers," Galliani told the Italian media on Friday.

"Del Piero? Milan have no need for second strikers like him, that’s because we are already well covered in that role."

Del Piero’s future at the Stadio Delle Alpi is in doubt given that he is not guaranteed a starting shirt under boss Fabio Capello in Turin.

Juve director general Moggi had initially denied meeting the Italian Prime Minister, but Galliani has confirmed they did see each other.

"I have spoken to Berlusconi and he told me that Moggi wanted to thank him for the loan of Christian Abbiati," he revealed.

Milan handed Abbiati to Juve as a form of ‘reimbursement’ for Gianluigi Buffon’s injury, sustained in the Trofeo Berlusconi tie as a result of an involuntary clash with Kaka.

Sounds like they got so carried away patting each other on the back, that the forgot to coordinate their stories for the press...or maybe Berlu forgot the agreement with Moggi that: "This meeting never happened"..

Much seems to have been made in Italy about this meeting...and the rumors seem to have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous...definately something to talk about, when there is little in the way of football news though...

Adriano Galliani confirmed that Luciano Moggi met with patron Silvio Berlusconi yesterday, but added Alessandro Del Piero was not part of the discussions.
“I spoke with Berlusconi yesterday afternoon, and he told me Moggi wanted to meet him to thank him about the Abbiati loan deal,” he revealed.

“Milan don’t need players like Del Piero, because we are already covered in that role,” he added.

After the news of the meeting broke yesterday, Moggi said the meeting never took place…

Perhaps they were playing the game of "paper, rocks, scissors" to see who will win the scudetto. Of course that is what some have accused Juve of doing. They sure as heck couldnt do that without Berlus help.
This is why all this conspiracy theory stuff is a bunch nonsense.
Right now I would just interpret this as Moggi and Silvio as having a meeting. Evrything else is but a guess.

Ancelotti aims for Alex reunion

Juve and Milan denied talks for Alessandro Del Piero, but Carlo Ancelotti hopes he can join him at the San Siro, although the Coach has more urgent worries against Siena.

“Luciano Moggi’s visit to President Silvio Berlusconi’s office kept me awake at night!” joked the tactician. “I do hope they spoke about Del Piero.”


The Italian international’s difficult rapport with Fabio Capello has sparked increasingly strong rumours he is set to leave Turin and reunite with former Juve boss Ancelotti in January, making way for Roma rebel Antonio Cassano.

rumors say about an offer to Moggi (just made by Carraro, but rejected) to guide as responsable with Lippi the national team, for 2 o 3 months, next spring.
