Sebastian Giovinco has ruled out the possibility of a January return to Juventus, committing his immediate future to Parma.
The Italy international is co-owned by the two clubs following a €3 million agreement for 50 per cent of his economic rights last summer, and it has been suggested he could return to the Turin-based side after an impressive first half of the season at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
"Juventus want me back?," he told Mediaset Premium. "One thing is certain: I am staying at Parma.
"I chose this squad because they showed the most concrete interest in me from the start."
Giovinco, who is Parma's top scorer in Serie A with seven goals, affirmed in October he would like to replace Alessandro Del Piero at Juventus when the 37-year-old leaves the club during 2012.
However, the 24-year-old has admitted that his lack of playing opportunities at the Bianconeri frustrated him.
"I could have learned so much at Juve next to champions like Del Piero, but I was not given that possibility," Giovinco added.
"They chose another path, and now I hope to go as far as possible."
