Real Madrid deny offering Salgado to Juventus

Real Madrid have denied reports they have touted fullback Michel Salgado to Juventus.
 
The defender was quoted as saying that he was happy to accept a loan move to Turin in the New Year.

But after Juventus denied the story yesterday, the Spanish outfit have also insisted that no such transfer will take place.

"Real Madrid and Michel Salgado deny that they have spoken about the move of this player to Juventus at the end of December," read a club statement.

"Despite the reports that have appeared in the English and Italian media, which include alleged declarations from the player about a loan move, we would like to make it clear that he made no such comments and the club is not considering loaning him to another team."

Ernesto Bronzetti, a FIFA football agent who works closely with the capital outfit, also rejected the speculation.

"Salgado will not join Juventus in January," he told Radio Incontro. "He is a 29-year-old and Real would never send him out on loan."

"If a move does happen then it will be discussed at the end of the season. He has a lot of requests in England."
