Man City board member Galassi: Guardiola to Juventus? What a joke!

Manchester City board member Alberto Galassi has rubbished rumours Pep Guardiola will join Juventus this summer.

The Catalan has been linked with replacing Max Allegri shortly after winning the domestic treble with City this season.

But Galassi says there is no chance Guardiola will be leaving the Etihad.

"As a Manchester City advisor, I was very surprised to read that a news agency broke completely nonsensical news," Galassi told Sky Sport Italia .

"What Pep said last week obviously went unheard.

"First of all, the coach wants to stay at the club and he still has two years left on his contract.

"Second, a club like Juventus wouldn't have allowed the leak of news of this magnitude. They would have contacted us first.

"It's impossible to think that there will be a presentation in a few days. The news is completely untrue. It's ridiculous.

"The coach's desire is to stay, Pep is an amazing professional.

"He can't understand why his words are not being considered.

"Honestly we don't understand why a club should explain a sure fact, Guardiola wants to stay."
