Juventus ready to spend in January

Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has confirmed that Claudio Ranieri will have money to spend in January.

The Old Lady has had a poor start to the season and are expected to strengthen their team in the January transfer window.

“I have already stated that we have the finances to bring in some new faces next January,” Cobolli told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We did so last winter when we purchased Mohamed Sissoko. However, we first want to see what happens over the next few months.

“Several important players are recovering from injury lay-offs: Cristiano Zanetti is a pillar in midfield and Jonathan Zebina is a great centre-back who can always make a difference.”

Gigli also insists that Ranieri’s job at the club is safe.

“His position at the club was never in question,” insisted Gigli.

“We are very grateful to him for what he is doing and even more so for what he will be doing in the future. We all picked him as a manager and he is staying put.”
