Leeds have been repeatedly linked to Moise Kean.
Leeds United have been consistently linked with a move for Juventus strike sensation Moise Kean over the past year.
Sport claimed last month Leeds were competing with Spanish sides for the player’s signature, and he is yet to sign a long term contract with the Italian champions.
The Birmingham Mail this morning misleadingly claimed Leeds were ‘closing in’ on the young forward.
Juventus chief Fabio Paratici has now denied Kean is going anywhere.
Speaking at his press conference reported by Tuttomercatoweb, Paratici insisted Kean will stay put.
Quizzed about interest from Bologna in Kean, Paratici responded: “No, we will try to keep all players of our squad.”
He was also asked about Juventus’ interest in World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe which he denied.
Paratici said: “It’s a very imaginative hypothesis. The fantasy helps, but in January little and also for June this is a very difficult name.”
Paris Saint-Germain are likely to have little intention of cashing in on the French striker any time soon.
Juventus appear happy enough with Kean as a back-up option for now. He made his debut for Italy earlier this Autumn.
He would be a fine addition for Leeds, either or loan or permanently, but the Whites have more pressing priorities than to waste further time pursuing the teenager.
