UPDATE - Juventus have reportedly denied Amauri the opportunity to face Italy after Brazil submitted their request too late for the upcoming Friendly in London, with other reports claiming that Juve have denied the initial request ever took place.

“Any other references to the national team of Brazil or Italy is absolutely without credibility. My only thought at this moment is to give my best is to train and give my best for Juventus. I consider this episode closed and will not be coming back to this topic.”
