Juventus target Willy Sagnol has reportedly turned down a move to Turin in favour of staying at Bayern Munich.
It was widely expected that the defender would arrive at the Stadio Delle Alpi in the summer on a free transfer.
However, reports in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper have insisted that the Frenchman has now decided to stay with the German giants.
The international, formerly of Saint-Etienne, is said to have signed an extension with the side until 2010.
Bayern have refused to comment on the speculation but would be delighted to keep hold of the 28-year-old.
Bayern chief Karl Heinz Rummenigge will be particularly pleased to pip Juventus to the player after he openly criticised their market behaviour last month.
Sagnol has been in Bavaria since 2000 during which time he has won the Champions League, four Bundesliga titles and three German Cups.
The Old Lady of Italian football will now have to reassess their transfer strategy if Sagnol has in fact extended his present agreement.
They were ready to sell Jonathan Zebina, another free capture, but may decide to reconsider that option.
Meanwhile, other reports today suggest that Juventus are keen on signing Bayern Munich captain Michael Ballack.
The German international midfielder, who is also wanted by a host of European clubs including Inter, is available on a Bosman at the end of the season.

Jonathan Zebina will leave Italian champions Juventus in January, his agent has confirmed.
The international, who only arrived at the Stadio Delle Alpi in the summer of 2004, will move on after his relationship with the outfit collapsed.
"The Frenchman will change shirts because he does have problems with Juventus," Franco Zavaglia stated.
Zebina, who has missed most of this season with injury, is alleged to have clashed with the hierarchy after asking for a pay rise.
That request was not welcomed by the Turin giants who are ready to dispose of him within the next month.
The right-back has numerous options available to him with Milan and Liverpool in pole position to sign him.
He could move to the Rossoneri in a deal which sees Christian Abbiati’s loan contract turned into a permanent one.
Milan do need a right-back too as Jaap Stam and Marcos Cafu are likely to leave the club at the end of the current campaign.
Juventus will therefore continue to use Gianluca Zambrotta on the right until Willy Sagnol arrives on a free from Bayern Munich in the summer. |
