Juventus, Spurs, Arsenal Man Utd: Kompany battle

By European Football
February 23 2005

In what is set to become the transfer battle of the summer has started in earnest, with Juventus offer 4 million pounds and Zalayeta to Anderlecht for the highly rated Kompany. This offer is likely to be rejected though with Anderlecht looking to realise at least 12 million, from the player’s sale.

But Juventus will not be alone; Spurs and Arsenal have kept a close watch on the player in recent times, as have Chelsea. Manchester United looks to be the most likely of premiership destinations after they have had two offers turned down in the past.

Wherever Kompany does end off, it will cost big money and he would seam to have his choice of Europe, with Real and Barcelona from La Liga also showing interest. So ultimately the choice will come down to the player himself.
