Diego Blasts Juve Move Talk As "Lies"
Werder Bremen attacking midfielder Diego has surprised Juventus fans and directors after stating that he is not interested in the Italian club, and has no intention of leaving his team.
Diego has attacked journalists through his official club website for apparently concocting the story that he will join the Bianconeri this summer.
“It’s a total invention,” boomed the 23-year-old Brazilian talent, following reports which appeared in the Italian media on Friday and Saturday claiming that Diego was on his way to Turin.
“I only told the journalists that it was wonderful to be appreciated by such a club, but I’m fine at Werder Bremen and I want to fully concentrate on my current team, with whom I have a contract until 2011 which I want to respect," he added.
This is another blow for Juventus who had been linked to Diego after apparently losing interest in Rafael Van der Vaart.
This news will surely not go down too well with the Old Lady’s fans, many of whom were hoping to sign at least one between the Dutch midfielder and the Brazilian talent.
Diego, 22, signed on at Werder in 2006 from FC Porto.
