"I would be surprised if he wasn't appreciated by Inter and other important teams," Nani told Radio Sportiva.
"Until he was eliminated he proved to be the best defender in Europe.
"He is complete, a defensive leader, I don't see any serious lapses, mistakes happen to everyone. He has attracted the attention of many clubs, especially in the Premier League."
He also admitted: "He is important to us and we would like to keep him but we have to be ready. If an offer were to arrive we will discuss it."
