Guillem Balague rubbishes Pep Guardiola-Juventus rumours

Pep Guardiola talks to Raheem Sterling after winning the FA Cup

All hell broke loose earlier today after Federico Gennarelli of Radio Sportiva claimed that Pep Guardiola has agreed to join Juventus as their manager on a 4 year deal. The Italian journalist tweeted,

“It was supposed to be the decisive day. It was: Pep #Guardiola will be the new coach of the #Juventus. 4-year contract. Deal done.

The Spanish media had also reported about Pep holding a meeting with Juventus Sporting Director Fabio Paratici in Milan. However, Spanish journalist Guillem Balague tweeted subsequently and rubbished all claims linking Pep with Juve. He tweeted,

“On Pep and Juve. He is staying at Manchester City. No idea where the stories come from, but no truth in them. In fact, it was published he was in Malpensa, when actually at that point he was on the bus in Manchester! By the way, no truth in a new contract being discussed either.”
