Serie A side Fiorentina have expressed their desire to keep striker Stevan Jovetic at the club amid speculation linking him with champions Juventus.
Juventus have openly revealed their interest in bringing the Montenegro international to the club after he scored 14 goals in 27 games last season.
However, Fiorentina sports director Daniele Prade was keen to stress the club's desire to keep the player, but admitted that they would consider a deal if Juventus matched the asking price.
"I spoke with the owners and they told me that the player is not on the market," Prade said.
"But there is a gentlemen's agreement and if someone makes an offer for him close to €30million (£23.5m), without some players in exchange, we can sit at a table and discuss.
"But we want to keep Jovetic."
Jovetic, 22, joined Fiorentina from Partizan in 2008 and has since made 101 appearances for the club, scoring 27 goals.
