Empoli President Fabrizio Corsi says he'll ‘talk to Juventus directors in June’ about Riccardo Saponara.

The attacking midfielder has been linked with a move to the Old Lady as soon as January, but reportedly wants to stay in Tuscany to improve his chances of a place in Italy’s Euro 2016 squad.

“I said that Juventus couldn’t afford Saponara, but it was a joke,” Corsi told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“We’re not talking about the transfer market with the Juventus directors, or rather we'll talk about it in June.

“Now it is better not to touch on certain subjects that could destabilise a team."
