Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo insists Chile winger Alexis Sanchez is not for sale.

Sanchez has been strongly linked with a move away from Udine before the end of the transfer window, with several clubs, including Inter Milan and Chelsea, reportedly keen to acquire the 22-year-old's services.

But Pozzo told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Sanchez and (striker Antonio) Di Natale will stay put. I reiterate that nothing will happen until the end of the season. I want to keep Sanchez for at least another year. He is young and the players here know there is an opportunity to do something important and I don't think they want to leave."

Sanchez, whose current contract runs until 2014, played in Udinese's 3-1 win over Inter on Saturday that lifted the Friuli outfit to eighth in the Serie A table, four points behind the top four.

The South American star moved to Udinese in the summer of 2008 from River Plate and has scored five goals in 20 Serie A appearances for the Bianconeri this season.
