Manager Ralf Rangnick desperately wants Edi Cavani to stay put.
The 34-year old striker is back to full fitness and has featured under new manager Ralf Rangnick for the first time last week.
His contract expires this summer and the manager feels Cavani will be a crucial player for the remainder of the season.
Cavani has recently been linked with Barcelona and Juventus but the manager doesn’t want to let him go.
“He knows that I will definitely not let him go,” said Rangnick.
“I told him from the very first day that, for me, he is a highly important player,” added Rangnick. “He is probably the only one who can play as a striker back to goal and face to goal.
“And, as I said, his professionalism, his work ethic is just amazing and I told him that I desperately want him to stay until the end of the season. He knows that. He also knows how highly I rate him and how highly I respect him.
“We will definitely need Edi. I would rather have another Edi on top of that but for me it’s clear that Edi has to stay.”
