The Juventus midfielder is admired
by David Moyes but the Italy international's agent has insisted his client has
not held talks with the Premier League champions
Juventus midfielder Claudio
Marchisio has not held talks with Manchester
United regarding a possible summer move, according to his father and
agent Stefano.
United boss David Moyes scouted
Marchisio in January as he drew up a list of possible midfield targets – having
already missed out on the likes of Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas and Athletic
Bilbao's Ander Herrera.
But the Italy international's
representative has played down suggestions he has already discussed a move to
the Premier League.
"Sometimes I have received
phone calls from agents who told me of the interest of clubs such as Arsenal,
Manchester United and Liverpool," he is quoted as saying by Calciomercato.
"But no one from these clubs,
however, has ever contacted directly us. And in (that) case I would tell them
to talk to Juve."
Marchisio's current contract expires
two years from now but Stefano has insisted the 28-year-old is in no rush to
extend his stay in Italy.
"I've read that the renewal
should be imminent, but Claudio is focused on the season and doesn't think
about the contract," he said.
"The current agreement expires
in 2016 and there is time for (us to) talk about it."
