Roma coach Luciano Spalletti denies Juventus agreement

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti denies he's planning a move away.

There's claims Spalletti has agreed a pre-contract with Juventus.

“I have not signed any pre-contracts with anyone," replied Spalletti in his Press conference.

Technically, that doesn't rule out the existence of a verbal agreement and the wording of his response will be analysed carefully.

Spalletti's contract with Roma expires in June and he has so far refused to even discuss an extension.

“If you want to ask me about my contract… The President got (director Mauro) Baldissoni to say something to me. I have nothing to hide.

“If I win, then I will remain, if I don't win, then I will not remain. You can ask anyone you like, I stay consistent on this issue.

“I am behind my players and I'll show you that all the way, because I believe in them, I consider them to be strong, I accepted them, wanted them and right now contracts don't matter.

“Nobody in the squad is asking me about my contract, because what counts now is the sporting result, those who love Roma are focused on tomorrow's result.
