The agent of Sevilla wing-back Abdoulay Konko has poured cold water on talk of a return to Italy in January.

Palermo and Fiorentina have been linked with former Genoa star Konko, but Daniele Conti told Tutto Mercato Web: "It's fair to say the player has had some problems since moving to Spain, especially physical, and it is true that some teams have shown interest.

"But I see his return to Italy as being unlikely.

"He has yet to adapt to his new realities, but his intention is to prove himself in Seville."
