“We asked Sassuolo for the availability of Politano as a precautionary measure. I think the doubts over Juan Cuadrado’s fitness will be clarified this week.
“I will not get into Sassuolo’s decisions on whether they sell an important player or not. I appreciate his quality, but we are not interested in going all the way for Politano, as we already have important players in that role.”
Marotta was also asked about reports of interest in Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco and Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian.
“Carrasco is a rather creative idea that we never discussed. Darmian is not someone we need right now and it’s a little premature to talk about June. We are concentrated on the present and I don’t think anyone will arrive in January.”
Juventus were certainly in advanced negotiations with Genoa for Pietro Pellegri, but today the 16-year-old sensation completed his transfer to Monaco for around €25m.
“We had a verbal and moral agreement with Pellegri, but faced with a unique step up in the offer from Monaco, we stepped aside. There are regrets to see an Italian talent leave the country.”
