CHELSEA and Juventus have both held talks with Cagliari over the signing of Ghanaian midfielder Godfred Donsah.
Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini today confirmed the club had discussed a transfer with Blues officials this summer.
He also revealed Juventus are keen to land the 19-year-old midfielder and offered ex-Parma striker Alberto Cerri as part of the deal.
But Giulini insists the youngster will remain at the club this season.
ââ¬ÅWe had a chat a few weeks ago with Juventus and Chelsea, but I am stunned by all these rumours around him. The lad needs to grow up with us," Giulini said.
ââ¬ÅWe have many other players on low wages and their contracts will be renewed at the right time, including Donsahââ¬â¢s.
ââ¬ÅWe received a request to attend a meeting via a lawyer, but I am accustomed to doing things a different way.
"As soon as the right moment comes, weââ¬â¢ll be happy to renew his contract.ââ¬
Cagliari reportedly rejected a ã4.2million bid from Juve for Donsah, while Sampdoria and Bologna are also known to be keen on the ace.
Donsah joined Cagliari from Serie A side Palermo after having a brief stint on loan at Verona.
Liverpool were also said to be interested in the youngster but no move materialised.
