Agent: "Juventus" not interested in the possibility of acquiring J.Biabiany © EuroFootball.com

Jonathan Biabiany will not be joining Turin's "Juventus" next January, according to the player's agent.

Lately, the defender playing for "Parma" has been named as a real candidate to wear the Italian champions' jersey this winter.

On Monday, agent Giovanni Branchini, interviewed by the radio station "Tele Radio Stereo," dismissed the rumors.

"Lately, no one has shown interest in acquiring my client this winter," said Biabiany's agent. "It is clear that Jonathan would be useful to many teams."

"Nevertheless, I have been told that 'Juventus' coach Antonio Conte is waiting for Simone Pepe to return after his injury," noted G. Branchini.

"Juventus' defender has not played for over a year due to recurring injuries, but he has resumed training at full strength and will soon be able to step back onto the field."
