Australia NewsCafu Coup For Gold Coast? |
BRAZIL veteran Cafu wants to move to the A-League and sign up with Gold Coast United next season, claims GCU boss Miron Bleiberg.
The 38 year old World Cup star quit AC Milan and Serie A football at the end of last season but is said to still be keen to continue his career in Australia.And Bleiberg shrugged off worries about the legendary star's age.
"Sometimes age is just a number," he told goldcoast.com.au. "You can be old at 30 but Cafu is one of those who has defied time.
"To me his chronological age is not the all important factor. He was playing at the top level until last May and it's a credit to the A-League and the Gold Coast as a new entity that a player of his calibre is keen to join us.
"It's just another example of the interest this club has been generating here and abroad.
"For him it would not be a matter of money -- it would be more about the challenge of being something of a pioneer, and also about the lifestyle."
He added: "Until we officially get our A-Licence (next month) we can't negotiate with players, though it's true to say Cafu is one of several big names who we are looking at."
