Marotta was asked about Milan goalkeeper Donnarumma and Boca Juniors midfielder Bentancur at a Press conference regarding globalisation in football on Monday, the promising pair having been linked to Juve in recent times.
“Juventus have given many players to the national team,” the general manager said.
“In the last 20 years, the national team’s goalkeeper has always been Juve’s: Zoff, Buffon… the history of Juventus is made up of Italian champions and talents.
“Donnarumma? We’re not thinking about him. We always want to have the best goalkeepers.
“Today we have Buffon, who will play with us for a few more years, and it’s beautiful that he represents everything good about football.
“After that, we’ll look around and replace him with someone. Of course, it won’t be easy to replace a player like Buffon.
“It’s a difficult task, but Juventus’ ambition is to find a worthy successor.
“Bentancur? We met with the spirit of meeting up as friends. We didn’t necessarily we talk about Bentancur, of whom Juventus enjoy preferential rights since we sold Tevez.
“We still have time to evaluate and decide on what to do, but I believe that he’s an interesting player.
“Therefore, we’ll do everything so that he can be with us next season.”
