Conte: No Drogba for hard-up Juve

Juventus coach Antonio Conte refuted claims the Serie A champion is on the verge of signing former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

Juve extended its lead over title challenger Inter Milan to seven points on Sunday thanks to a 3-0 rout of Atalanta.

But despite reports claiming Bianconeri has been in talks with Drogba's representatives, Conte said Juventus - and indeed other major clubs in Italy - are in no financial position to sign top players.
