Parma director of sport Pietro Leonardi has cooled talk of a move to Juventus.
Leonardi has been linked with a role at Juve - and has been endorsed by former Bianconeri boss Luciano Moggi.
But he said: "In my career I have always made decisions based on people, and this time I have focused on Ghirardi who is a great President.
"The rumours surrounding my transfer to Juventus are only unsettling. I am too attached to Parma and its fans and I intend to present this city with many satisfactions in the medium to long-term."
