ROME (AFP) - Inter Milan have not made an offer for Chile winger Alexis Sanchez, according to Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo's son, Gino Pozzo.
The younger Pozzo was at an Italian Football League meeting with other club representatives to discuss the distribution of TV rights when he spoke to reporters.
"There's no meeting with (Inter president Massimo) Moratti to discuss the sale of Sanchez," he said.
"There has been contact, which is normal, but there's been no offer from Inter."
However, having qualified for the Champions League play-off round at the beginning of next season, Pozzo said Udinese are more interested in strengthening than selling.
"Our aim is not to sell our players," he added. "You can't take money onto the pitch.
"We have the Champions League preliminary round and we want to keep a team that would enable us to progress.
"We need to find the right balance between the players' desires and our need to maintain a high level team.
"Sanchez wants to play for Udinese, even though he is not oblivious to the interest from top clubs.
"We prefer to keep him and we're working on that. He has a contract with us but most of all we have a great relationship and he's happy in Udine.
