Juventus have insisted that they are not interested in Didier Drogba, but Edinson Cavani would be welcome in Turin.

Drogba recently confirmed his exit from Chelsea after eight years at Stamford Bridge, signing off on a high by helping the Blues to win the Champions League.

And the powerful Ivorian striker has often been linked with a switch to Serie A, where his skills are admired.


Juventus though, the new Serie A champions, will not be joining the race for the 34-year-old.

"Many names are mentioned, but I can say that Drogba is not part of our plans", said Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta, adding: "He is not a priority."

One man who could land in Turin though is Cavani, the Napoli hitman, who clearly interests the Bianconeri.

"Cavani is an interesting player", admitted Marotta.

"He could be integrated into the squad, but he is a Napoli player."
