Grenoble have slapped a €30million (£27.5million) price-tag on starlet Sofiane Feghouli.

The highly-rated midfielder has attracted interest from a host of clubs with Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Juventus amongst those thought to be taking a keen interest in the 19-year-old.

However, Grenoble insist they have no plans to let the Paris-born starlet this month although they admit they could sell in the summer.

"There is no Feghouli case," vice-chairman Pierre Wantiez stated in L'Equipe.

"He is just a good player, who has to stay at Grenoble at least another six months.

"He told us he wants to stay and play at Grenoble. €30million is a way to say he won't leave and he will stay until the end of the season.

"Then we will talk, may be he could leave next summer. We will see. We have a long-term logic at Grenoble."

Reports suggest that the Stade des Alpes outfit would consider a €10million in the summer.

Boya move

Meanwhile, Grenoble have confirmed the signing of Cameroon striker Peirre Boya from Rapid Bucharest.

Boya has penned a three-and-half-year deal with the club.

"I am delighted to sign with Grenbole," he said.

"It is great to be back playing in France, it is sad to leave my team-mates but a footballers life moves on."
