EXCLUSIVE: Hamburg Star Olic Will Not Join Juventus

Ivica Olic's agent Gordon Stipic has laughed off rumours linking his client with a move to Italian giants Juventus.

The Hamburger SV hit-man has been in stunning form in the Bundesliga this season. Reports in both Germany and Italy suggested a deal had already been agreed with the Bianconeri, and that Olic would sign in January.

Turin-based Tuttosport had claimed a €3 million package for the player was on the cards and Germany's Kicker also had the striker on the road to Serie A.

However, his agent has denied the rumours and he insists the Old Lady hasn't even been in touch, let alone have a contract ready.

"Olic to Juventus? That's not true. I think there has been a small misunderstanding maybe through the German newspaper Kicker," Stipic told Goal.com.

"I said that no decision has been made about Ivica's future and that we will decide his future around Christmas time.

"I have not received any offer from Juventus and I have not been contacted by them either.

"I don't know where all these rumours are coming from. I saw the news in Germany and I think the Italian papers have misunderstood the situation.

"No contract has been signed and no decisions have been made. The rumours are untrue.

"Maybe Juventus are interested and perhaps they are discussing this among themselves but I have not heard anything.

"To be honest, me and Ivica laughed at the news when we heard it."
