Despite talk of Juventus pulling out of the deal, Milos Krasic has confessed he is Juve mad.

Juve GM Beppe Marotta returned from Russia last night without an agreement with CSKA Moscow for the winger, amid claims of Inter Milan and Manchester City clouding negotiations.

"We do not do auctions," snapped Marotta at reporters.

However, in South Africa, Serb Krasic was charming the Italian media with his knowledge of Juve.

Asked how he felt being compared with Pavel Nedved, Krasic replied: "What you say or write, of course I am delighted, because Pavel was a great player, and it will be very difficult to achieve everything that he has done."
