The Werder Bremen playmaker has been the focus of several reports in Italy linking him with a move to the Serie B side as part as the Turin club prepares to compete in Serie A next season.

But Frings told Arena television after his side's 2-0 win over Mainz on Sunday that "there is no truth in it."

Bremen and Germany team-mate Miroslav Klose is another reported target of the Bianconeri, who recently signed Bayern Munich's Hasan Salihamidzic on a free transfer for next season.

Juventus, who were stripped of the 2005-06 Scudetto and relegated to Serie B as punishment for match-fixing, are three points clear of Napoli at the top of the table.
