Giuseppe Marotta: 'Juventus will not bid for Radamel Falcao'

Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta has insisted that there is no chance of the club making a bid for Radamel Falcao in the near future.

The Monaco forward has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Ligue 1 this summer, but it now appears that the Italian champions are not in the running for the Colombian's signature.

"We're lacking a forward, a second striker in a compartment that already gives us many certainties, but it will not be a [player with] a major profile," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.

"We will not make big investments, but [one player] could arrive in the final hours of the window."

Reports on Wednesday suggested that Liverpool were eager to sign Falcao on loan for the season.
