Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has rubbished reports he is being lined up as Arsenal's next manager.
Reports in the British press have suggested the Italian has struck a 'verbal agreement' with Arsenal to replace Arsene Wenger, who has again come under increased pressure.
Arsenal suffered a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday to drop out of the Premier League's top four with Wenger opting to start Alexis Sanchez on the bench, a move the Frenchman admitted backfired.
But Allegri, speaking after Juventus' 1-1 draw at Udinese on Sunday, says claims that he is in line to replace Wenger are not true.
"I repeat what I have already said before, it's not true," he said. "The second thing, even if there was something in it, the first to know and learn my wish to leave would be Juventus.
