Claudio Ranieri has cooled speculation linking Juventus with big signings ahead of the transfer window reopening in January.
The resurgent Italian giants have been linked with a host of players over recent weeks including Gilberto Silva, Olof Mellberg, Diego Lugano and Branislav Ivanovic, while there have also been persistent rumours about under-utilised summer signings Tiago and Almiron have been put in the shop window.
Not so, insists Bianconeri boss Clauido Ranieri, who has seen his side make a very positive return to the big time after a year stuck in Serie B as a consequence of the Calciopoli scandal.
"We won't make any signings in the January market because we have a group of players who are growing," Ranieri said to Sky Italia. "I believe a lot in Tiago and Almiron - they have big possibilities.
"When I say we have a big group, it's also because I have faith in these players."
Italian football daily Tutosport has other ideas, however, and just yesterday they ran a story about Juve having their mind set on either luring Werder Bremen star Diego or Hamburg's Rafael van der Vaart to Turin in time for the second-half of the season.
