Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has rubbished renewed rumours of interest from his club in Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.

The 27-year-old Spain international has been linked with a move away from Anfield for most of the summer, with Real Madrid believed to be in pole position to snare Alonso.

Juve almost landed Alonso a year ago, but Cobolli Gigli insists that there is no chance of a revival of that deal now.

He told the Italian press: "For the midfield, there are many names, but Xabi Alonso's not one of those.

"I read in the press about our interest for him. He's a good player, but I think that saying I've read his name in papers is where it ends."

Alonso has been with the Reds for five seasons, scoring 18 goals in 210 appearances in all competitions.
