The defender Jonathan Zebina has let it be known that he was pleased by an offer from newly promoted Arles-Avignon. The 32 year old player has confirmed that he will be leaving Juventus, despite the fact that his contract runs until June 2011, and that he is keen to go back to France, or to gain some experience in England or Spain. Given football’s current financial crisis, Zebina is said to be prepared to accept a lower signing fee: he currently earns an annual net salary of approximately 2.5 million euros. .
