Vilanova: Sanchez not joining Juve

Barcelona boss Tito Vilanova has played down rumours that Alexis Sanchez could make a move to Juventus in January.

Reports had surfaced of a possible deal between the Spanish club and Antonio Conte's men for the Chile international, but the 44-year-old Coach has denied the stories claiming he hopes to work with the former Udinese man for a long time to come.

“The boy is fine and still has a long contract,” he told ESPN Espana. “I hope that he continues to play here for a long time.”

Sanchez joined the Blaugrana in 2011 for a fee of €26m, playing 56 games for the club so far, and scoring 16 goals.
