Fergie eyes Italian market
|
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he plans to raid the Italian market this summer.
The Manchester United chief is fully aware of the recent events in Italy, with Fiorentina, Lazio and Juventus relegated to Serie B following the match-fixing trial.
Ferguson feels some of the clubs may look to loan out players for a season and will keep a close eye on developments.
The Scot is in the market for a holding midfielder and striker and there could well be options available to him in the coming weeks.
"It is something we are addressing," he said.
"At the moment, we are not exactly clear who is available and what the circumstances are.
"Some clubs might be looking at loan situations, believing they will get straight back into Serie A, so that is a possibility.
"But we also don't know whether players are available for sale or on free transfers."
