Trezeguet's staying at Juve

Juve have reportedly rejected a £17 million offer from Man Utd for striker David Trezeguet.

Juventus have once again refused to sell striker David Trezeguet despite reports of a £17 million offer tabled by Manchester United.

The early Premiership leaders have been in search of a new goalscorer to replace the prolific Ruud van Nistelrooy, who teamed up with former United team-mate David Beckham at Real Madrid earlier this summer.

While the Old Lady continue to fight their enforced relegation as a result of the Italian match-fixing scandal, United have tried to exploit the fact that a French international would not ordinarily be playing in Serie B.

But Sir Alex Ferguson's ‚é¼25 million offer has reportedly been rejected, as the Bianconeri's sporting director Alessio Secco has once again insisted the player will remain at the Stadio Delle Alpi.

"Trezeguet will remain at Juve. David has an agreement with us and he has decided to stay," Secco reaffirmed.

"Our relationship has been well defined and he's happy to play with us. But I go forward: even if he became unhappy, he will remain with us.

"I've read Trezeguet would have refused to go to Neaples for the Coppa Italia match, but that's false.

"After the match with Cesena he had intoxicated muscles and he couldn't play. That's the reason we left him at home."

With the transfer deadline looming large on Thursday, United may have to turn their attentions elsewhere if they are to succeed in adding to Michael Carrick's summer arrival at Old Trafford.
