Juventus defender
Giorgio Chiellini is urging the club to sign
Atletico Madrid striker
Sergio Aguero while admitting that he himself wants to remain in Turin.
Chiellini, 26 and an Italy international, has been linked with a summer exit from Vinovo. A troubled season in which the club look set to miss out on qualification for Champions League football has seen the rumours over his future grow louder.
However, the stopper has promptly put an end to the speculation, also suggesting that the club's crisis of late has been brought about by a lack of firepower up front rather than question marks over the defence.
As a result, he has decided to issue a rallying call to Aguero.
"It's normal that there are market voices which regard me. But, honestly I do not care," he told
Sky Sport Italia.
"I want to play in the new stadium, and hopefully with a champion player like Aguero in the team. And for this reason Juventus has precedence over my choices."
The highly-rated 22-year-old Argentine attacker has made well over 150 official appearances for Atletico since joining them from Independiente in the summer of 2006.
Aguero is reportedly looking for a new challenge though, and could very well be on his way to Italy this summer.
He has an ongoing contract with his current club, but has a minimum fee release clause of €45 million (£40m) in his deal, according to reports.
