Antonio Conte plays down Carlos Tevez talk

Juventus coach Antonio Conte has played down talk of signing Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.

The Argentine striker's future with the Premier League outfit has been put in doubt following Roberto Mancini's sacking on Monday.

When asked about a move for Tevez, Conte said that he would rather focus on the achievements of the club's current players, who have won a second consecutive Serie A title this season.

"I think you should be giving credit to my guys for what they did on the pitch this year," Soccerway quotes Conte as saying.

"Talking about the market right now does not seem respectful to them."

Juventus have already confirmed that they will be signing Athletic Bilbao forward Fernando Llorente during the summer.
