Fiorentina president Mario Cognigni has stressed that Valon Behrami is not available at any price in the January transfer window.

The versatile midfielder has been linked with a move to Juventus, but his current club have no intention of letting Behrami leave any time soon.

"Behrami is officially not for sale at any price," Cognigni said in an interview with Sky Sport 24 on Sunday.

"We are proud that our star players attract the interest of some big clubs. However, we are keeping them at the club and don't want to sell. This is not the right time to do any big outgoing transfers."

The 26-year-old Behrami joined Fiorentina from West Ham United in January 2011 and has developed into a key player at the Viola.

He has a contract with his current club until the summer of 2014.
