Cagliari general manager Mario Passetti insists there's no plans to sell Nicolo Barella.

The midfielder has been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool.

But Passetti said, “We don't know what his price is and we're not interested.

“We're continuing the path of growth for the team, which is just starting to bear the first fruits.

“Nicolò is very important in that, he's also very happy. After that I don't know what will happen, but he's only thinking out the present.

“There's been some interest for a possible sale which we haven't evaluated, we're continuing on our path of growth and it's right that it's like this.

“There's a friendly relationship with Napoli, we did the [Leonardo] Pavoletti quite quickly. We're very happy because Leonardo is a strong player and an exceptional person, he puts the group first."
