Midfielder Afriyie Acquah's dream of playing in England will not materialise this summer.
This is after Torino head coach Sinisa Mihajlovic blocked the transfer to Birmingham City insisting the Ghanaian is important to his plans.
The Serbian trainer also believes the amount being offered by the Championship side for the services of Ghana international is paltry.
''I asked the club not to sell Acquah, because he is an important player for us. The offer we received from Birmingham City wasn’t that good. We spoke yesterday and we want to extend his contract,'' Mihajlovic said at a press conference.
Birmingham turned their attention to Acquah after missing out on another Ghanaian, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu to Bursaspor in Turkey.
Acquah is expected to start for Granata against Sassuolo on Sunday in their second league match of the season.
