Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has insisted that his side have never thought about signing Didier Drogba, and have no intention to go after the Shanghai Shenhua star in the January transfer window either.
The Cote d’Ivoire international, 34, is reportedly unhappy at his current club, and has recently been linked with a move to Italy, with the Old Lady keen to add some more firepower to their squad.
However, the former Chelsea striker is not one of the candidates to strengthen the Serie A leaders’ attack this winter.
“We have never considered making a move for Drogba. That’s just rumour and speculation,” Marotta told Mediaset Premium.
Juventus are also be said to be monitoring the situation’s of Roma’s Pablo Osvaldo and Athletic Bilbao’s Fernando Llorente.
