Juventus director Beppe Marotta has ruled out a move for Didier Drogba or any other January target.
The former Chelsea striker has been linked with a move to Juve since before the transfer window opened despite denials from the Turin club.
Despite their illustrious history Juventus are no longer amongst the biggest spenders in the game.
Since selling Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid in 2001 Juventus have fallen from grace with Marotta spelling out the clubs transfer policy despite pressure from fans to compete with the big spenders in Spain and England.
“The transfer window will close without any major signings,” the Juve director said. “The January market is not offering important names for Juventus.
“We are looking around, evaluating, but in the meantime we want to recover those players who are absent with injury or participating at the African Cup of Nations.”
Juve’s lead at the top of Serie A has been cut from eight points down to three but Marotta insists that the club won’t be forced into any panic signings.
He added: “January is perhaps a month where we don’t collect as many points as at other times of the year.
“If we compare it to last year, after the win at Lecce we won three and drew four in a row.
“We’re calm, let’s distance the pessimism, we’re realists. The Championship can be likened to the tour of Italy, not Milano-Sanremo.
“We are targeting the finishing line. Juventus are always obliged to win.”
On Saturday Juventus are at home to Udinese.
