Juventus have no intention of selling Arturo Vidal unless the Chilean midfielder expresses his wish to leave.

The 27-year-old Vidal, who has three years left on his contract with the Italian champions, is a reported target of Manchester United this summer.

“Vidal is a Juventus player and we have never put him up for sale,” Juventus club administrator Giuseppe Marotta said in a press conference yesterday.

“A lot of clubs have asked for him but we have never sat down to negotiate.

“We want to keep him.”

Vidal is currently on holiday in Chile after helping his country reach the last 16 of the World Cup, where they lost on penalties to tournament hosts Brazil.

The former Bayer Leverkusen star recently admitted he would be happy to remain at Juve.

“From experience, I know that a player is the one that decides his future,” Marotta said. “Vidal has expressed many times how happy he is to remain in Turin and if that is confirmed, we will be happy to continue together.”
