Giovinco Is Untouchable – Agent

The agent of Juventus starlet Sebastian Giovinco is confident that there will be no problems over a new contract, and says that his client is not for sale at any price.

The immensely talented Giovinco is regarded by many as the future of Juventus, and the eventual heir to Alessandro Del Piero. However, recently there have been a number of transfer rumours flying about that has worried supporters.

The 21-year-old fantasista is currently involved in negotiations over a new contract at the Stadio Olimpico, but it has been reported that a few problems have begun to emerge between player and club.

Giovinco is demanding an improved deal, but so far Juve are only willing to pay the attacking midfielder €500,000 extra per year. The stalemate has led to various reports that English trio Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are ready to pounce, and indeed only this morning Tuttosport claimed that Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was already laying the foundations for a transfer bid next summer.

"Giovinco is ready to put himself to the test at Juventus,” Andrea D'Amico told Radio Kiss Kiss, when asked about some of these rumours.

“He will work with great humility to try to achieve his objectives, and without doubt he can be considered as a heritage of Juventus. Therefore he is untouchable.

“With regards to the contract, I am convinced that there will be no problem."

Giovinco spent last season on loan at Empoli, scoring six goals in 35 Serie A appearances.
