The father of Rafinha insists the Barcelona midfielder isn't in contact with Juventus.

It's been claimed the midfielder wants to leave in the search for regular first team football.

Father Mazinho is confident that Rafinha will find his place in the team again next season: "His objective is always to play more, to be at his best ahead of the World Cup.

"Juventus are a great club, there's no doubt about that, the biggest in Italy, but at the moment we've not had any contact with them."

He also told TMW: "He is an important player and playing at an important club like Barça, that's all I can say."
