Sampdoria chief Beppe Marotta has revealed he's turned down an offer from Juventus.

"I am flattered by the interest from Juventus, but at the moment I remain a Sampdoria director," he told Sky Italia.

"In the transfer market for directors it is much the same as for players, as that which does not happen today could well happen tomorrow.

"I am very tied to Sampdoria and the Garrone family."
