The agent of Fabrizio Miccoli has moved to cool speculation over the Palermo striker's future.

Benfica want to take Miccoli back to Lisbon as he waits for Palermo to open new contract talks.

But Francesco Caliandro said: "There was much talk of this affair, but I have already said and I repeat that there is nothing mysterious in the future by Fabrizio.

"The renewal of a contract will need the will of all parties concerned. When everything is formalized, all will be informed, but now we are interested only that Palermo reach a certain type of target, the best position possible on the table. Then the rest will be a consequence of that .... "
