Barcelona priced Denis Suarez out of a move to Italy last summer, it has been revealed.

Denis hasn't made the pitch for Barca since mid September and was again in the stands for last night's Champions League win over Inter Milan.

Mundo Deportivo says AC Milan and Napoli were eager to take Denis off Barca's hands last summer - but were frightened off by their valuation.

The Catalans insisted the midfielder would not leave for less than €40m.

However, given his lack of minutes this season, Barca face having to reassess their price should Denis push to leave in January.
