Pescara insist no deal has been agreed with Juventus over the sale of Marco Verratti.

The young midfielder is being linked with Juve.

"There has never been any negotiation with Juventus," Pescara sporting director Daniele Delli Carri told TMW.

"The only operation which has been discussed with the player is about a new contract for him.

"It is clear that there are a lot of clubs who are interested in Verratti, but the only sporting director who has been in touch with us is Walter Sabatini of Roma.

"We discussed Marco as a player, but we didn't discuss money.

"I have an excellent relationship with Juventus, with Beppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici, but I haven't discussed Verratti with them."
