Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has ruled out a potential move to the Premier League, describing it as 'fantasy football'.
A stunning season, where solid and consistent performances have been the norm, has seen the Juve stopper linked with a number of clubs including Arsenal.
His brother and representative, Claudio, denied the speculation, and Giorgio has now added more weight to suggest that he will extend his stay in Turin.
"Moving to England? I think it all fantasy football," Chiellini told Il Corriere Dello Sport.
"At the moment I cannot see myself playing for another team, be it foreign or Italian.
"And, as well as this, Juve will never put me up for sale and I am proud of this."
The Scudetto and Champions League are still up for grabs, and Chiellini admits that winning one of those will be just rewards for another season of hard work.
"We cannot really decide which title we would prefer, but I am sure that we will win something," added the defender.
"We have to see what happens. The key is moving forward and hoping someone slips up."
