Juventus sporting director has reassured the club's fans that the side will not be embroiled in the Mutu affair.

Speaking to Il Giornale della Toscana, Alessio Secco said: "So far, we have not received any type of announcement but in the meantime, we have already alerted our lawyers, who are monitoring the situation.

"In the moment that we are asked about an official involvement by Juventus in this issue, we would know how to reply."

The prudent practice by the Juve sporting director comes in response to the Italian Players' Association (AIC) vice-president, Leonardo Gorsso stating that Juventus could get embroiled in the matter.

Speaking to the La Gazzetta dello Sport, Grosso said: "We are perplexed that Juve were not involved: an article of the FIFA rules contemplates joint and several liability, that is the liability of the club for which the player was registered after Chelsea."

Alessio Secco, however, believes otherwise.

"I remain of the idea that this story is only about a player, and not our club," Secco said.
