Transfer Talk : Van der Vaart Won’t Join Juve – Ranieri

Van der Vaart Won’t Join Juve – Ranieri

Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri does not believe that Hamburg star Rafael van der Vaart will join the club in the summer.

The Bianconeri are days, if not hours, away from completing the deal to sign Liverpool defensive midfielder Momo Sissoko.

This summer the club are expected to purchase an attacking midfielder, and Dutch playmaker Rafael Van der Vaart has been heavily associated.

With young starlet Sebastian Giovinco set to return from his loan spell at Empoli in time for next season, Ranieri believes that Van der Vaart will not be bought.

“Van der Vaart is not how we intend midfielders to be in Italy,” the Tinkerman explained somewhat confusingly.

“I do not believe that Van der Vaart will be joining, therefore there will be no problem of him and Giovinco colliding.”

Van der Vaart revealed earlier today that he has so far had no contact with Bianconeri officials.

"I have had no contact with Juventus" the HSV captain told 'Welt-Online'. "[My future] is all still very open.”

Van der Vaart has been in fine form this season for his club and is currently joint-second top-scorer in the Bundesliga with nine goals.
