TURIN, Aug 21 (SW) – Newcastle United defender Jean-Alain Boumsong is
again being linked with a move to dethroned Italian champions Juventus.
The French international has been targeted by new Bianconeri tactician
Didier Deschamps as the man to help lead the club to promotion from
Serie B, with a £2.5 million fee being mentioned in Italian media
circles.
The move would represent a huge loss on the £8 million forked out by
former Toon boss Graeme Souness to Rangers for the player, but would
allow the club to save on his huge wages.
