Sampdoria chief Marotta rubbishes Juventus link

Sampdoria chief Beppe Marotta has dismissed talk of a move to Juventus.

Marotta has been linked with Juve as they seek to fill the position vacated by Jean-Claude Blanc's promotion to president.

Asked if he would follow Genoa boss Gian Piero Gasperini, who is being tipped to replace Ferrara, Marotta replied: "This is Fantasy Football.

"I don't know what Gasperini will do, but I sincerely don't see a possible transfer on the horizon in the medium term.

"I am very happy at Sampdoria and I would be very happy to continue with Samp because I feel there is a lot still to realise in continuing this project.

"It's not important if we don't win the Scudetto, because I like seeing the youngsters develop."
