Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta has denied rumours linking the Italian club with a move for Samuel Eto’o despite the club’s interest in signing another striker.
New signing Alvaro Morata suffered a second grade tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during his first training session with the club that has ruled him out for a minimum of seven weeks.
The injury, along with the sale of experienced striker Fabio Quagliarella to city rivals Torino has left the Bianconeri with a shortage of attacking options upfront for the beginning of the new season though Marotta told reporters at a press conference that they have no interest in the Cameroonian striker.
“We’ve never talked about Eto’o, but the club needs at least five strikers, so we are missing someone,” Marotta stated.
“Considering that Morata will be absent for a couple of months, I can confirm that we are looking for another forward, but I will not say too much because the market is constantly changing.”
Eto’o has been a free-agent since his Chelsea contract expired at the end of last season and has been linked with a move to newly promoted English club Queens Park Rangers.
