Trezeguet Fourth In Ranieri's Pecking Order?

The prolific Frenchman, who hit the net 20 times last term, may find himself in danger of losing his starting place in Claudio Ranieri’s side. Trezegol, who has been the first choice since moving to Juventus in 2000, has not played much during pre-season, making the odd cameo appearance against Brondby and in the Emirates Cup. This has led to speculation as well as new questions being asked regarding his position in Ranieri’s pecking order. Il Giornale claims that Trezeguet will be the fourth choice in Turin this term with the Tinkerman preferring Amauri, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Alessandro Del Piero ahead of the former Monaco man. Trezeguet has been in outstanding form for Juve over the past two seasons and there were fears he would leave last year, but he stayed on. Being fourth choice will not go down well with the striker and he may reconsider packing his bags and moving on. The striker has hit over 160 goals for the Bianconeri in 218 appearances. His contract expires in 2011 but he may be forced to leave before then.
