Turin - Del Piero-Juve? Air of thawing. It's in action the operation re-contract, after the argument between agents and Moggi that in the last week have blocked the negotiations. Yesterday the player was in Turin, maybe in Umberto Agnelli's villa, while the voices of a meeting between manager and black-and-white leaders spread out to reopen the talks. The vital obstacle always regards the image rights that the player only exchanges for a rich expenditure from Juve. The last indications, however, tended to be optimistic. Meanwhile, it's been concluded and made official the engage with Jonathan Bachini. To Udinese 10 billions and the joint ownership of Zamboni (who comes back from Lecce) and the keeper De Sanctis, in place of which arrives the Swede Andreas Isaksson, from Trelleborg: 3 billion costed the receipt. Isaksson, class 1982, is a big boy who's 1m96cm tall and weights 77kg. He's proud of his three caps for the national team of juniors. He'll undergo medical visits this morning and almost for sure will be presented in the afternoon with Bachini. Foreseen, later, a "raid" to Amsterdam to close with Ajax the purchase of Oliseh.
