The ex-Italy international previewed the upcoming league game against Monza during a pre-match press conference on Saturday.
However, with the winter transfer window approaching, Motta also replied to a question about potential January deals.
“The director is here with us,” Motta said.

“We are focused on Monza and entirely in sync with the club. It’s not about gifts when the transfer market begins. Monza is all we think about.”
Motta also answered a question about Nicolò Fagioli, who has recently been linked to a Premier League move.
The question wasn’t about the transfer market but whether the Italy international would start in Monza and Motta’s reply was quite frosty.
“He is available tomorrow, and we’ll see if he starts or if he’ll help the team during the game [starting on the bench],” the Juventus coach said.
During his pre-match press conference, Motta revealed that six players would miss the trip to Monza, while Andrea Cambiaso would be assessed before kick-off.
Juventus are the only unbeaten team in Serie A, but collected 10 draws in the opening 16 rounds.
