Juve rule out Chiellini sale
Friday, 27 July 10:10 BST
Juventus are set to dash Manchester City's hopes by vowing to retain defensive star Giorgio Chiellini.
The defender's future at Juve was plunged into doubt following a spat with new coach Claudio Ranieri.
New City chief Sven Goran Eriksson had been alerted to the situation and was ready to step in with a bid.
Chiellini's agent said recently that he was waiting for the green light from Juve to discuss a move for his client, but the Old Lady have stated he is too important to sell.
"We believe Chiellini is indispensable for Juve," said Juve chairman Giovanni Cobolli Gigli.
