Juventus managing director Giuseppe Marotta has insisted that the club would like to keep hold of Arturo Vidal during this summer's transfer window.
The Chile international has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United recently, but is under contract with the Italian side until 2017.
Marotta told Sky Sport Italia: "We recently renewed his contract because we knew that we could count on an important element. He has not taken any different position to what he thought before.
"Transfer gossip is normal on one of the best players in circulation. We have never activated a plan to sell the player.
"In football you can never say, but if the player wants to stay we will be happy to keep him."
Vidal scored 18 goals in 44 appearances for Juventus last season.
