Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano is set to reject a move to Juventus.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Cassano doesn't want to move to Juve while Alessandro del Piero is still playing. The striker doesn't want to compete with the Bianconeri captain for a place.

Making negotiations even more difficult is Samp's insistence they will only consider a sale if Juve include Sebastian Giovinco in their bid. A prospect already rejected by Juve sports chief Alessio Secco.
