Zaccardo joins Wolfsburg
Friday 9 May, 2008
German outfit Wolfsburg have announced the signature of Palermo defender Cristian Zaccardo.
Palermo are looking to rebuild the squad this summer after a disappointing campaign spent in mid-table.
With Amauri set to leave and Azzurri defender Andrea Barzagli possibly on his way out, Zaccardo has also chosen to jump ship.
“Zaccardo has signed a three year contract,” Wolfsburg Coach Felix Magath revealed.
“He is a player of great substance and quality. Cristian is powerful, good in the air and strong in the tackle.
“I am convinced that he will be a regular and that playing in the Bundesliga will help him become a fixture in the Italy side.”
Zaccardo has slipped out of Azzurri contention recently and is out of the running for a place at Euro 2008, but he has 17 caps to his name and was a World Cup winner.
The former Bologna man is expected to command a fee of around £6m and will face ex-teammate Luca Toni when his side play Bayern Munich next term.
The possible stumbling block may be the 26-year-old’s reported reluctance to leave the peninsula at this crucial stage of his career.
Although Luca Toni has excelled at Bayern Munich and maintained his spot in the Azzurri side, Zaccardo may feel his chances of returning to the national team would be damaged by leaving Serie A.
