Xavi's response was that he doesn't intend to seek a return to football until after he's had a year off after last season's dismissal by Barca.
The Catalan's talks with Juve aren't being viewed as a threat to coach Thiago Motta's position.
Instead, it's suggested Xavi is being lined up for a 'new project' being put together by Juve, which could include the purchase of a new club or taking charge of an academy team.
