Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta has admitted admiration for Sampdoria striker Patrik Schick.

However, he insists no real offer has been made for the youngster.

"We add pieces every year, and also next year we'll see if there will be opportunities," the director told Premium Sport.

“I think everyone likes Schick, he's young, an interesting player.

"We haven't had any meetings or offers though, we learned about these 'negotiations' through newspapers, we didn't speak with Samp."
