Juventus denies Diego talks

Juventus managing director Jean-Claude Blanc has rejected links with Werder Bremen midfielder Diego.

The Brazilian international has regularly been linked with a switch to Turin, but no concrete move has ever been made.

There were reports in the Italian Press yesterday that Old Lady officials were in talks with Diego's father, who is also his agent, but Blanc has played down the rumours.

“There is nothing going on with Diego right now,” Blanc insisted.

“The news that the player is set to move to Juventus is just the result of some brilliant work from agents.

“At the moment the market is closed and we are still weighing up whether there is a need to intervene or not.
