Trezeguet: Everyone Wanted Me But I Chose Juve
-
David Trezeguet surprised much of the football world by choosing to extend his contract at Juventus and he has now explained the motivations behind his decision to French football magazine Equipe.
The French international striker looked a cert to leave Turin on one of the first trains out after he made an offensive gesture towards the club president following his goal in a defeat by La Spezia on the last day of the season.
Although he declined to comment on the derogatory hand gesture, Trezeguet looked to use the interview to further undo the mercenary image he had been increasingly tagged with.
"More importantly than money issues, I needed sporting guarantees as I was not prepared to wait four years in order for the squad to be competitive enough to win a major trophy,” said the 29-year-old.
“Everybody wanted me but it was always my first desire to remain, just like the rest of my teammates,” he added.
The Equipe, however, raised doubts over whether ‘Trezegol’ was really in such high demand and even went as far as suggesting that Juventus did not receive a single serious offer for the player that they valued at 10 million Euro. -

Reds and United tracked Trez
David Trezeguet claims Manchester United and Liverpool were interested in signing him before he agreed to extend his stay at Juventus.
The World Cup winning striker finally ended speculation over his future by penning a contract extension with the Italian giants on Monday.
The Frenchman had fallen out with the club's hierarchy following the departure of former boss Didier Deschamps but has now signed with the Turin side until 2011.
"My father (Trezeguet's agent) told me I had other propositions from ambitious clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool and Barcelona," the striker told L'Equipe.
"But as soon as Juventus showed their desire to keep me I accepted immediately.
"I didn't want to leave Juve but I needed to get reassured by the officials.
"The departure of Didier Deschamps did make things more complex but we finally all made efforts and came to an agreement." -
Excellent. Juve managed to keep the core of the team yet again with Buffon and Trezeguet signing contract extensions.
Cheers.
