Roma Primavera captain Luigi Cherubini will not be headed to Juventus after all.

The 20-year-old midfielder had been strongly linked with the Bianconeri as the Giallorossi looked to secure a permanent deal for him.

However, Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo reports that Cherubini will not be joining Juve in this window.

The presence of a cyst in his knee has emerged in recent weeks and will require immediate surgery.

The player will carry out his rehabilitation in Rome with the support of the capital club.

Additionally, Roma are reportedly preparing a new contract for him as they plan to integrate him into the senior team.
