Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri has played down the prospect of a reunion with Chelsea star Frank Lampard.

"I have read everywhere that Lampard is linked with Ranieri but it is not true," Ranieri told the Mirror. "Of course I would like him and Kaka and Messi and Ronaldinho. Which manager doesn't want the big champions?

"It is just the money. To buy big champions you need a lot of money. That is the big problem in Italy not just Juventus.

"At the moment I will not be making a move for Lampard."
