It is being strongly rumoured that Juventus will use some of the money from a new sponsorship deal, to fund the capture of Antonio Cassano from Roma.

Libyan company Tamoil agreed a deal with Juve to pay them 76 million over the next five years, and a chance of an extra 90 million for the five years after that.

Juventus have been carrying on a campaign through the Italian press, with Capello and Buffon recently stating how well Cassano will fit in at Juventus, and for his part Cassano, has often been quoted as saying how he felt Capello, was like a father to him.

The only sticking point for the transfer up until now had been funds but now it looks like that obstacle has been removed a summer move is very likely indeed.

Another question that occurs in all of this is if Cassano arrives in Turin, what will become of Del Piero, who will find chances limited to say the least.
