Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has moved to quell speculation linking midfielder Arturo Vidal with a move away from the club.

The Chilean international has caught the eye of several clubs across Europe, including Manchester United and Liverpool.

Speaking after their shock 3-2 loss to amateur side Lucento, the former AC Milan boss ruled out speculation linking Vidal with a move away from the Bianconeri.

“I am not worried, he is a Juventus player and I am calm,” he said. “I have already spoken to him, as I have done with all our players.”

Allegri then went on to speak about the game against the Eccelenza side, saying that the side’s “legs were a little heavy”, whilst also giving his insight about the upcoming Serie A season.

“We were coming off of two days of hard training, so our legs were a little heavy,” he said. “We will start to prepare for the new season on Monday, and then we have our first official friendly against Cesena.”

“We are coming off the back of three titles in a row, so we remain the favourites.

“However, we have to fight; Napoli and Roma will be our major rivals along with AC Milan, Inter, and Fiorentina.”

It is also worth noting that Allegri was appointed as coach of Juve in mid-July after the resignation of former boss Antonio Conte.
