Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has pledged his future to the club amidst transfer rumours linking him to clubs across Europe.

Marchisio has been linked to Manchester United, Real Madrid and PSG over the summer, but the 27-year-old has insisted that he only has Juventus on his mind at the moment.

"I am staying here. I am happy at Juventus, but the fact that rumours keep emerging around me every summer is starting to get on my nerves."

Marchisio admitted that Juve's pre-season results have been less than ideal with only two outright wins out of seven games, but he added that the results will not matter once the season begins.

"It is only normal that after winning so much a few negative results are surprising," he said.
"These things can happen, especially as in America we lost two games on penalties after playing well.

"This period is important to work hard and put petrol in the tank for the season ahead, so we'll just have to work even harder to start on the right foot."

Juventus are set to start their seasonin the Italian Super Cup when they face Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
