Luciano Moggi says that Juventus should forget about signing Manchester City's controversial striker Carlos Tevez.

Former general director, Moggi, who was once responsible for signing players for the Turin side, believes that Tevez is best left alone.

The Argentinian forward, 27, returned to training for City on Thursday and awaits a club disciplinary hearing for a breach of contract after allegedly refusing to play during a Champions League match against Bayern Munich, resulting in an apparently inevitable exit from the club.

And, with Juventus believed to be amongst those interested in Tevez, Moggi has advised the club to reconsider any such transfer.

"Buying a dressing room breaker like Carlos Tevez in January would be the biggest disaster ever that could hit Juventus who are in the process of rebuilding," Moggi wrote in his Tuttomercatoweb column.

He then added that regardless, the Old Lady - currently managed by ex-midfielder Antonio Conte - are not yet strong enough to win this season's Scudetto: "The quality of the squad is not enough to challenge AC Milan, Inter and Napoli for the title."

Since their relegation in 2006 for their role in the Calciopoli scandal, Juventus have failed to seriously challenge for the title with Inter and AC Milan becoming Italy's dominant clubs.
