Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini insists there was never any contact with Juventus last summer.

Mancini was linked with Juve as Antonio Conte walked out of the club.

"Juventus? I have never been asked by Juve.

"(Massimiliano) Allegri is doing very well and they are a great team. They are the favorites for the championship, but also Roma will have their chances."

Amazingly, Mancini reveals he's only met with Inter president Erick Thohir once.

"I have met Thohir only once and cannot judge the person. He seems very attached to Inter, but clearly differs from (Massimo) Moratti."
