Juventus coach Antonio Conte has admitted that on-the-pitch affairs must now take over following a week of talk over new contracts for himself, Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba.

Conte, who has yet to agree terms on a new deal, said that the games against Bologna and then Galatasaray are what he is currently focusing on.

"At this time my contract is not an important issue for me or for Juventus, we are so focused on the objectives to be achieved and it is important that we remain focused on that," Conte told Tuttosport.

"Against Bologna we expect a tough match, and we have to go into the game with a clear head without thinking about the Champions League. I will try to put in place the most suitable training for us to win the game. After that we can look to the Galatasaray game."

Vidal agreed terms on a new deal on Tuesday.
