The young "Auxerre" forward Olivier Kapo denied rumors that he is already leaving for Turin's "Juventus" this summer. The 23-year-old Frenchman's contract with "Auxerre" expires this summer, and many of the top European clubs have publicly expressed their interest in the player. Recently, reports in the French and Italian press claimed that Kapo had already traveled to Turin and signed a pre-contract four-year deal with "Juventus." As soon as these rumors spread, Olivier's agent and the player himself rushed to deny them. "I have never been to Turin to negotiate a contract," said Kapo. The footballer's agent, Jean-Jacques Bertrand, also denied his departure to Italy but hinted that several clubs in France, Spain, and England are interested in the forward. "I have never received any official offers from 'Juventus.' It is a pure lie that annoys us," he said. "However, I admit that 'Juventus' is indeed a great club that can fulfill the dreams of many young players." "At the moment, we are in discussions with several well-known clubs in Spain, England, and France." Jean-Jacques Bertrand also hinted that in these negotiations, the "Valencia" club is currently leading, sitting in 2nd place in the Spanish championship. The favorite to acquire Kapo was considered to be the "Paris Saint Germain" club, but the Parisian team delayed making an offer, allowing "Valencia" to snatch the young forward from right under their noses.
