Massimiliano Allegri: 'Martin Montoya is a good defender'

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri hails the qualities of Spanish defender Martin Montoya, but insists that the right-back is still a Barcelona player.

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has praised the qualities of Barcelona defender Martin Montoya.

The Italian champions have been strongly linked with a move for the Spanish right-back over the last couple of weeks.

However, despite revealing that he admires the defender, Allegri has said that there is currently no deal currently in place to take Montoya to Turin.

"Montoya is a good defender and he has good technique. But he still plays for Barcelona and there are other players in our sights to consider," he told reporters.

Liverpool are understood to have failed with a late move for the right-back.
