Giorgio Chiellini feels it ‘would be crazy to leave Juventus now’, even for Real Madrid.
The Bianconeri have won two consecutive Scudetti and reached the Champions League quarter-finals, but have reinforced with Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente.
And the defender has insisted that he will stay in Turin, despite constant speculation linking him with Los Blancos.
“Every summer I hear transfer stories around me or Claudio Marchisio, but a lot of it is fantasy football,” he told Tuttosport.
“Beppe Marotta said clearly that this is not a selling club. Besides, it would be crazy to leave Juventus now that the project is taking off, even if Real Madrid came calling.
Chiellini was asked about the Santiago Bernabeu side’s reported €120m offer for Tottenham’sGareth Bale.
“It’s a completely different reality and we cannot think of competing with Real Madrid or Barcelona. Let me also remind you that the club that spends the most money doesn’t always win. Just look at Borussia Dortmund.
“We too can look to the future with great confidence and enthusiasm. We’ve reinforced and signed players who can help us in our growth process.”
