Juventus have dismissed speculation linking Paulo Dybala with a move to Manchester United.
The Argentine striker has attracted rumours in recent weeks linking him with a transfer to Old Trafford.
But despite the departure of Massimiliano Allegri, Juve have been quick to emphasise the player’s importance to the club.
Sporting director Fabio Paratici insists he remains a key member of the team no matter who replaces Allegri this summer.
He said: “He is one of our players, we have great confidence in him.
“The investment we made four years ago and the renewal of the contract is proof of this.
“Dybala is a Juventus player, a very important player for us.”
Dybala himself also vowed to remain in Turin.
“[Juventus director of sport Fabio] Paratici knows what I want to do next year – to keep playing here,” he said.
“Paratici knows that next year I want to continue here. Then it doesn’t depend on me.
“Juventus must make its choices with the coach that will come. But society knows it – next year I want to stay here.
“I have a lot of respect for this shirt and for these fans, and because of this I will only talk about Juventus, not about other teams, because that seems to me a lack of respect.”
