Juventus or Chelsea for unhappy Vieri?

A very unhappy Christian Vieri admited yesterday that his Inter Career could well be coming to an end, which really leaves just the burning question of where next for the centre forward?

Juventus are interested, but so are a host of other clubs, not least Chelsea who tried despertely to sign Vieri last summer.

Vieri caused uproar when he refused to sit on the bench after missing out on the first team for the game against Bologna. Speaking on TV show Controcampo he said: 'I have told Alberto Zaccheroni that I prefer to train rather than be a substitute, he (Zaccheroni) is free to make whatever descision he wants, but he must also consider what is best for me, and it was better for me to complete a full training session than have 15 minutes at the end of a match.'

The relationship between Vieri and the coach has never seamed particularly good with Vieri stating that he had no rapport with Zac.

This all makes an exit from Inter seam all the more likely as clubs que up to take the striker. The early favourites (at least from a betting point of view) appear to be a return to Juventus or a trip to the Premership with Chelsea, but a host of other clubs are queing up to try their luck.

Whatever happens this seams to be one of the big transfer sagas of the summer begining to take shape.
