" During a busy season, it is inevitable that's every player will have their lows , but everything is normal . "
Fellows Juventus midfielders Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba have also been linked with a move away from the club , with the former 's contract set to expire at the end of the season .
However, Marotta was once again insistent that's both players will be staying put at the Turin club .
He added: " Pirlo 's contract ? He said last week that he feels happy here . We have talked with each other and in February we will find a solution to continue together .
" Pogba ? We do not want to sell him and we close the door to any buyers of this writing . "
