Borini expected to remain at Chelsea

Chelsea youngster Fabio Borini will remain at the club according to his agent Marco De Marchi.

The 19-year old Italian is being linked with a move back to his homeland after struggling for game time at Stamford Bridge with clubs such as Parma, Lazio and Juventus all believed to be interested.

But De Marchi insists his client will remain in London and get over his injury before he makes a move anywhere.

"At this time Fabio's just thinking about his rehabilitation from injury," he told calciomercato.com.

"The boy is disappointed by the behaviour of Chelsea, which put him out of the squad despite the excellent things he did last season.

"Parma are interested in Borini but it's not only them. That's normal for a player of the Under-21 national team, who has experience at international level and is out of contract in 2011.

"Ancelotti has great respect for him, and this affects a lot. He would return with pleasure to Italy but it is not necessary yet.

"The boy grew up in England and he loves English football. We will evaluate the offers that will come but I wouldn't be surprised if he stays in the Premier League."
