No January move to Juve for Ramirez

Gaston Ramirez will not be leaving Bologna for Juventus in January, his representative has underlined.

The Uruguayan was being linked with a New Year switch to the Old Lady, but Vincenzo D'Ippolito has cooled the speculation.

“I can exclude a January move,” the agent told Tutto Juve on Tuesday. “Bologna have no intention of selling him during the campaign.

“I think that all of the negotiations, if there are any, will take place at the end of the season.

“The President simply doesn’t want to deprive the team of his services mid-season. He’s not for sale right now and I’m convinced that will be the case until June.”

Juve have been paired with the 20-year-old for months, but D'Ippolito says he’s had no talks with the Turin giants.

“There has been no direct contact,” he continued. “I too have read the latest stories, but, as it stands, there hasn’t been anything official.”
