Milan - Udinese
Posted on 6:08 AM by Lionel Messi
Udinese insist they will keep hold of Chilean star Alexis Sanchez at least until the summer.
Chelsea were lining up a January raid for the £25million-rated forward, while Inter Milan were also thought to be interested.
But Udinese's owner Giampaolo Pozzo is determined not to lose the services of Sanchez and top scorer Antonio Di Natale just yet.
The Bianconeri are currently eighth in Serie A, just four points off a UEFA Champions League place, and Pozzo feels the immediate future of Sanchez, 22, would be best served in Udine.
"We are 'closed for holidays' until the end of the season and nothing will happen," he told Radio Anch'io Lo Sport.
