Shamrock Rovers have tried to ward off interest in their teen star Justin Ferizaj by tabling a two-year professional contract with the option of an extra year.

The emergence of the 17-year-old midfielder into the first-team picture has alerted several European clubs including Juventus. Sampdoria have offered a three-year deal to tempt him away while Glasgow rivals Celtic and Rangers are circling.
