Manchester United and Arsenal will have to wait at least till the summer for Miguel Veloso as Sporting Lisbon president Felipe Soares Franco ruled out a January transfer.
According to reports, the 21-year-old is a target for Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils as well as Arsene Wenger’s Gunners, while Serie A giants Juventus and Internazionale are also said to be interested in the versatile Portuguese international, who has a £20million release clause in his contract.
Veloso, who had recently suggested he would love to go to Old Trafford, had agreed to stay at least 18 months with the Portuguese club when he signed his new contract in January 2007, according to Soares Franco.
Soares Franco said: "There really does not exist a chance of the player's exit. This is down to the deal he signed last season - it is impossible.
"We are not interested in negotiating this subject because Miguel Veloso is one of our main players for this campaign."
