Juventus' talismanic defender Giorgio Chiellini insists he is happy to stay at the club amid interest from abroad.
The Italy international has been linked with both Manchester clubs and Real Madrid in recent weeks.
However, despite being no closer to getting a new contract, Chiellini intends to remain in Turin.
“I am happy to stay and help the team become great again,” he said. “I never felt for sale.”
The 25-year-old then turned his attention to this week's Champions League qualifying match against Irish side Shamrock.
“Our minimum objective is to qualify for the Champions League.
“There are promises to get back to being competitive. But let's leave Inter be because we are still not on their level and we must think about ourselves.
“This is year zero of a long project. The fans must also understand that. A cycle is over both for players and directors and now we are starting again,” he concluded.
