Massimiliano Allegri says he is happy at Juventus after a report claimed Chelsea have made him their No 1 managerial target.

Saturday's edition of The Sun said Chelsea made contact with Allegri's representatives earlier this month as the search for Jose Mourinho's permanent successor continues.

But Allegri, who led Juve to a domestic double and runners-up spot in the Champions League last season, has another full season to run on his deal.

And he said: "My thoughts are on the championship, the Italian Cup and the Champions League. I have a contract with the club until 2017 and I feel good here."

Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are both available for Chelsea's Super Sunday game against Arsenal.

Asked how it felt to be linked with the Chelsea job he said:  "It feels normal. When you coach a team like Juventus, that's the way it is.
