Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli has dismissed any speculation linking their captain, Danilo, with a move to Napoli. In a statement to Sky, Giuntoli emphasised that there have been no discussions with either Danilo or Napoli regarding a transfer. He affirmed, “We didn’t talk about anything with Danilo or Napoli.”
Commitment to Danilo
Giuntoli reiterated the club’s commitment to the Brazilian defender, stating, “He’s our captain and we are very happy to keep Danilo.” The director also made it clear that Juventus has no intention of selling any centre-backs during the January transfer window. Instead, the club plans to bolster their defensive line by signing an additional player.
Background on Danilo
Danilo, a seasoned defender, has been a key figure at Juventus. Previously, there were reports about his desire to remove a contract clause, as well as his future at the club being linked to his game appearances. Despite these past uncertainties, the current stance from Juventus indicates a strong desire to retain his services.
