MILAN, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- Juventus head coach Antonio Conte said on Sunday his club will not sign any top player due to economic conditions.
The January transfer window opens soon and newspapers in Italy claimed Juventus is finalising a deal to sign Didier Drogba, but Conte dismissed it.
"I know full well that this is a critical moment on an economic level for many clubs. We won' t sign any top player, because we are not in a position to do so. Neither are the other sides in Serie A," he said.
Conte insisted that the race is still open for the Serie A title following Juventus' 3-0 win over Atalanta at home on Sunday.
"It went well and was a great performance. We had the right approach and it wasn' t easy against a side like Atalanta," he said.
"The season isn' t over yet. We' re still going and it' s never simple to confirm a victory a year later. We try to prove ourselves through good football and organisation. At the end of the day we' ll see where we are," he said.?
