Juventus say they are confident that star striker David Trezeguet will sign an extension to his current contract.
Reports last week claimed that a deal was close after director general Luciano Moggi met with Trezeguet’s agent, his father Jorge, to start talks.
"There are no problems," said the transfer guru. "It was a friendly meeting in which we laid the foundations so that David can stay here for many years to come."
It’s believed that Trezeguet, whose current deal ends in 2005, is set to sign until 2008 even if pen has yet to be put to paper.
"It is a delicate contract," added Moggi. "Trezeguet is a great player but we are still ironing out some details."
The former Monaco man had stated earlier this month that he was keen to sort out his future after he witnessed what happened to Edgar Davids recently.
"This won’t be another Davids situation," maintained Moggi. "We will close the deal soon. Trezeguet isn’t and won’t be a problem."
Davids, who only had six months left on his contract, was dropped and then released to Barcelona after he failed to agree terms with Juventus over a new deal.
Trezeguet, a target for Chelsea, Arsenal and Barca, is set to see his £1m a year salary increased to £1.7m, with additional bonus-related payments.
His form seems to have also improved with this significant step over his future as he netted a hat-trick against Empoli yesterday.
