The young Juventus defender rebuffed the claims that he was on the verge of joining Napoli on loan.
Domenico Criscito signed for Juventus from Genoa last season and the talented defender has no intention of leaving the Bianconeri as he feels ready to play for a big team.
The young Italian player was linked to a move to Napoli in the past few days, something which he denied categorically.
"I don't know anything. I learnt from the newspaper that there was the possibility of joining the Azurri.
"It's obvious that I'm pleased with Napoli's interest, it's the team of my city. However, I know that Juventus want to hold on to me and they have already refused Genoa's offer, which means that they believe in me.
"I don't think that at Napoli I would find more space," he admitted. “Also at Juventus I would have my chances. Ranieri is someone who doesn't look at anybody's face and moves forward on his path.
"For our coach, those who deserve will play and I believe that I'm able to compete for a place in the team," confided Criscito.
