Decided to update this thread with a bunch of news:
Capello confirms Real talks
Juventus coach Fabio Capello has admitted holding talks with Real Madrid presidential candidate Ramon Calderon.
With the presidential elections scheduled for the start of July, candidates are stepping up their attempts to attract both managers and players to their campaigns.
Real are looking for a new manager with caretaker boss Juan Ramon Lopez Caro now having departed for Racing Santander and a number of names have been linked.
Calderon is determined to try and persuade Capello commit to his project - meaning he would take over if Calderon were to win the elections - but the Italian coach insists that, while he met the presidential hopeful, he did not make any sort of agreement with him.
"It's true," Capello told the Gazzetta dello Sport when asked if he had met the Real delegation in Italy.
"They came here with Calderon, the presidential candidate, but I only listened, I did not commit myself to anyone.
"Real Madrid are interested in me, it's not the first time they have come looking for me.
"In February I had contact with Florentino Perez, before he resigned as president, but I have always repeated that I feel good as Juventus coach."
Emerson's Juve exit hint
Brazilian midfielder Emerson admits his future at Juventus looks uncertain in light of the club's current troubles.
Juve are under investigation following allegations of match fixing and it is being suggested they could be stripped of their Serie A status.
Former Roma man Emerson has admitted he would not fancy playing in the second tier in Italy and may opt to move on from Turin.
"We must wait to see what happens at the club, but I am not sure if I will stay at Juve (if the club are relegated)," said the powerful midfielder.
Emerson is widely regarded as one of the finest defensive midfielders in Europe and his comments are sure to alert a number of clubs.
Milan are rumoured to be keeping a close eye on the situation, while Real Madrid, who tried to sign the Brazilian a couple of seasons ago, are also thought to have asked to be kept informed of developments in Turin.
Thuram can't imagine relegation
France defender Lilian Thuram is concerned by the situation at Juventus.
The veteran has admitted he is surprised by the scandals dogging the Turin club as he tries to focus on the World Cup at the training camp in Tignes.
"At first, I felt surprise," he confessed. "I admit, in the beginning, I didn't pay attention to that story.
"I believed it was a kind of Italian joke.
"Then, little by little, we discovered things were not very clear.
"People talk about a possible relegation of Juventus to Serie B or Serie C.
"If I had been younger, that could have worried me a lot.
"We will wait and see, we can't do anything else anyway.
"I am a little shocked by that case. All the same, it seems incredible.
"Maybe I can't really imagine this, notably the fact that Juventus could play in Serie B."
Azzurri suffer Zambrotta scare
Italy star Gianluca Zambrotta has suffered a World Cup scare after picking up a thigh injury in a practice game.
The Azzurri were playing against an amateur side on Sunday when the Juventus left back was withdrawn due to a muscular problem.
Although he could well be fine for Italy's opening game against Ghana on June 12, Zambrotta will know more after further scans carried out at Marcelo Lippi's training camp at Coverciano.
If a thigh sprain is discovered then his World Cup hopes could be in doubt, but for the moment Zambrotta is praying for a positive diagnosis.
"Let's hope it won't be something grave," said Zambrotta.
"I've stretched my leg, the muscle didn't support it and I've suffered this problem.
"Doctor Enrico Castellacci told me to be tranquil.
"Should there be something I want to recover soon because I don't want to miss this World Cup."
If Zambrotta's worst fears are confirmed then Palermo's Fabio Grosso is likely to benefit by slipping into the left back position.
After playing Ghana, the Azzurri face USA on June 17 then Czech Republic on June 22, and Lippi will be praying his key man is given a clean bill of health.
