Sassuolo sporting director Giovanni Carnevali warns Juventus and Napoli that Sime Vrsaljko ‘is not for sale’.
The Croatian full-back has been linked with both clubs, and while the Neroverdi director admits they are not ruling anything out, there is no desire to sell the 23-year-old.
“Last year big clubs wanted him,” Carnevali revealed in an interview with Radio Crc.
“Milan liked him too, but he chose us because we believed in him. We’ve never had any real offer for Vrsaljko because we don’t want to sell him.

“Milan liked him too, but he chose us because we believed in him. We’ve never had any real offer for Vrsaljko because we don’t want to sell him.
“We’ve sold [Simone] Zaza [to Juventus] and we have an obligation to look after the team. We’re careful to consider all eventualities, but at the moment we don’t want to sell him.
“Juventus? We have a great relationship with the Bianconeri, and Juventus like the player.
“It’s not important that the player’s agent visited the club, we don’t want to be at the mercy of agents, we try to do negotiations alone.
“As for Napoli, we’re not closing the door to anyone, but at the moment I have to tell Napoli and Juventus that the player is not for sale.”
