Italy & Villarreal Striker Giuseppe Rossi's Agent Denies Winter Move Rumours

Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi could join Juventus, but the move will not happen until June, according to his agent, Andrea Pastorello.

The Italian international has attracted the interest of several clubs, including Russian side Rubin Kazan. However, a January move is unlikely as the striker tries to safeguard his World Cup hopes, but things could change by the summer.

"We will look at all the situations, including ones in Spain," Pastorello told Tuttomercatoweb.com.

"He is hoping to be picked by Marcello Lippi. Players like Rossi usually move in the summer - I don't think anything will happen in January."

Rossi was linked with a cash plus player swap deal in the last transfer window, but a move never took place.

"We have not received contact from Italian teams. Juventus, like other teams have doubts, look at the [David] Trezeguet situation in the summer for example," concluded the agent.
