One of the greatest Chilean footballers of all time Marcelo Salas no longer belongs to the Italian champion club - it was decided by mutual agreement to terminate the player's contract that had one year left to run. "Marcelo terminated his contract and can now negotiate with other clubs as a free agent," said the player's agent Fernando Hidalgo. 30-year-old Salas joined the Turin team in 2001 from "Lazio" for 12 million dollars and D. Kovacevic, but after playing only eight matches, the player suffered a serious injury and did not fit into the club, later being loaned to "River Plate" in Buenos Aires. It is believed that Salas should sign a contract with the "River Plate" club, where he played in the last two seasons. By the way, Salas is the all-time top scorer of the Chilean national team, scoring 35 goals in 65 matches. Meanwhile, "Juve" is trying to acquire the captain of London's "Arsenal" Patrick Vieira. According to the team's general director Luciano Moggi, "Arsenal" does not want to release the player, but the Turin club will try to renew negotiations. It is estimated that the English capital's team wants 20 million euros for the Frenchman, while "Juventus" has only offered 7 million euros and S. Appiah so far.
