The agent of Sunderland winger Emanuele Giaccherini has ruled out a return to Italy this week.
The former Juventus midfielder has been linked with Parma.
"Emanuele is not moving from Sunderland," Fulvio Valcareggi told Radio Kiss Kiss. "With a pair of victories they can fight for a European place - that's how tight the League is.
"Lippi wanted to take him to China, but he won't leave England.
"Giaccherini is wanted by Parma - [sporting director Pietro] Leonardi contacted me because Biabiany could be leaving.
"Emanuele has an important contract with the English club and we want to respect it, despite numerous offers.
"Genoa have also had a look, but I'll say it again - he remains in the Premier League."
