CSKA insists Musa not for sale

CSKA Moscow has maintained that Super Eagles striker Ahmed Musa is not for sale.

Manchester United at the weekend joined the race for the 23-year old while CSKA has turned down a fourth bid from Leicester City of $26.5m (£18.7m) which was an improvement on the original offer of $21.6m (£15.1m).

The 23-year-old was believed to be open to a move to the Premier League leaders.

However, CSKA, who are top of the Russian league, want the forward to stay until at least the summer.

Musa had also attracted the attention of other top English Premier League teams and has a $32.5m (£22.8m) buyout clause in his contract, which runs until 2019.
