Liverpool snubbed by Trezeguet for La Liga move
Newly-promoted Hercules have pulled off what could turn out to be quite a transfer coup after having beaten Liverpool to the signing of striker David Trezeguet. The 32-year-old Frenchman has signed for the La Liga side on a free transfer after having his contract terminated by Juventus.
Liverpool had made an offer to the former French international; but it would seem that the influence of Trezeguet`s Alicante-born wife Beatrice helped the player favour a move to Spain.
Trezeguet was an integral part of Juve`s successes over the last decade, but a bad knee injury combined with a succession of muscular problems led to his playing time becoming limited in the last couple of seasons.
Along with interest from Liverpool, the player was also linked with a move to link up with Thierry Henry and the New York Red Bulls last month. If Trezeguet can overcome his problems with injury and regain some of his old form, then the newly promoted La Liga side could have just moved up a level in the goalscoring department after acquiring a player who, in 10 seasons at Juventus, netted 171 goals in 318 appearances, becoming the highest-scoring non-Italian in the club`s history.
