"Right now I can't add anything more," he concluded.

La Gazzetta understands Juventus have offered Hoffenheim €5m for Beck, but they also face competition from Valencia for his signature.

Hoffenheim are interested in selling Beck this summer, as his contract is due to expire in 2012, so the chances to cash in on his talent are running out.
