German news outlet Kicker claimed that the Bundesliga giants may sell the 30-year-old in the near future, leading to speculation the West London side could make a move.
Speaking after the Blues’ 2-0 victory over Brighton on Boxing Day, the 48-year-old said: “I don’t speak about players from other teams’ card.
“I must be honest, it’s not right to talk about a player of another team. Especially if you try to link this player with us.
“But Arturo is a fantastic player, I have a great respect for Arturo, and we spent many years in Juventus together.
