Bahia insist midfielder Gabriel is not moving to Italy.
AS Roma and Fiorentina are among teams keen on the Brazilian.
"There is no proposal for the player. We're not trying to sell our athletes," Bahia president Marcelo Guimaraes Filho told globoesporte.globo.com.
"We will do everything to ensure the performance of Gabriel in the next season. If the proposal were to arrive, we'd take our time to evaluate it."
