Balo to Juve dismissed
Mario Balotelli’s hopes of a move to Juventus have been dashed, writes Simon Mullock.

But Marotta insists that reports of a move to Juventus are wrong.
He added: “The rumours about Balotelli? It is a hoax. There is love and esteem for the boy here, but he is not needed by Juventus.”
