Godfred Donsah's high market value has not diminished despite the combative midfielder failing to light up the FIFA U-20 World Cup as expected.

Donsah has kept up his market value of a staggering 4.5 million Euros and seated at number 5 in the ratings for the most expensive young players in world football as the chase for the 19 year old's signature hots up.

Donsah did not return to Ghana with the Black Satellites following their elimination from the 2015 world youth championships still ongoing in New Zealand, indicating the youngster is back in Europe to seal a deal to a new club in the coming weeks.

The Ghanaian whizzkid burst into the spotlight last season on the back of impressive box-to-box displays for Cagliari in the tough Italian top flight and has been hailed as one of the best discoveries of the 2014/15 season despite Cagliari's relegation to Serie B.

A host of Europe's top clubs including Juventus, Bayern Munich, AS Roma, AC Milan, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham have all been linked with the teenage prodigy but the player's agent has indicated no official bid has been received yet.

Donsah is contracted to Cagliari until June 2020 following his €2.5m move from Hellas Verona in July last year.
