Juventus coach Max Allegri has cooled talk of wanting to see Joao Cancelo sold.

There have been reports Allegri wants him to be sold this summer.

He said, “Cancelo has improved since he arrived. He has extraordinary qualities in possession, especially when dealing with the ball on his own to emerge from a difficult situation.

“It's true we have some players a bit further ahead in years, but we also have many youngsters who are still developing. It is a good mix in this squad, it was built really well. At the end of the year, we'll evaluate all together with Paratici and Nedved the technical situations we need to improve.

“The strength of this Juventus over the last five years has been the way it changed. There are I think only three players left from when I first arrived, Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci."
