Juventus chief Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has downplayed the feud between Claudio Ranieri and David Trezeguet.

Trez was furious when he was replaced during the Old Lady's Champions League exit at the hands of Chelsea.

And the Frenchman's public comments landed him in hot water with Ranieri, prompting suggestions he could quit the club.

“I saw Trezeguet training with Ranieri yesterday,” Cobolli Gigli revealed.

“I think the argument was resolved by Jean-Claude Blanc's declarations after the game on Saturday.

“We need to be strongly focused at the moment and I hope that Trez will train hard and be ready when Ranieri calls upon him.”

There have been rumours in the Italian Press that Milan are plotting a bold swoop for Juve striking star Amauri.

“It's just talk,” Cobolli Gigli insisted. “Amauri isn't for sale - he is one of our great champions, like Trezeguet.

“They are very important to this club and their futures are linked to the club.

“As for summer signings, there is a list and Blanc is working on that with Alessio Secco. Clearly the first thing is to look for a replacement for Pavel Nedved.”

Juve take on Roma in a crucial encounter this weekend at the Stadio Olimpico in the Italian capital.

“It is an extremely important game, like any other” the Bianconeri chief said.

“We just have to try and win our next 10 games and see if the other sides at the top lose.”
