Serie A giants’ Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has dismissed fresh reports linking the Serie A club with a bid for Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.

The Italian club are known admirers of Alonso and are targeting midfield reinforcements this summer.

Speculation in the media suggested Juve could launch an offer for Alonso, who is also said to be a target of Real Madrid.

However, Juve have moved to deny the rumours, insisting they are not in the market for the Spain international.

“For the midfield, there are many names. But Xabi Alonso’s not one of those”, said Cobolli Gigli. “I read in the press about our interest for him. He’s a good player, but I think that saying I’ve read his name in papers is where it ends.”

Reports have also claimed Juve are tracking Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik, but Gigli said: “About Hamsik I know nothing.”
