Juventus Boss Antonio Conte Confirms Emanuele Giaccherini Heading To Sunderland


Juventus boss Antonio Conte has confirmed midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini is leaving the club, with the Italy international expected to complete his move to Sunderland shortly.

Sunderland and Juventus are thought to have agreed a fee for the player, with Italian reports suggesting an initial fee of around £6.8m, with extra fees based on appearances and goals.

Juventus boss Antonio Conte, when asked about Giaccherini's departure in a news conference, said: "Any departure is painful, but it is necessary in times of crisis.

"Each departure causes me pain. To me, every player is non-transferable, but I understand the needs of the club.

"If you ask me if I'm happy, the answer is no."

But reports in England and Italy claim Emanuele Giaccherini has been offered around double his salary to move to Wearside.

Giaccherini featured in every game for Italy in the Confederations Cup last month, finishing a memorable team goal against Brazil.

He made 17 appearances for Juventus last season, seven of those from the substitutes' bench, and with Giaccherini keen to cement his place in the Italy squad for the World Cup, Sunderland will be hopeful that their lucrative contract offer will persuade him to join Paolo Di Canio at the Stadium of Light.
