Bologna winger Simone Verdi is expected to remain to the end of the season.

Verdi has been linked with Napoli ahead of the January market.

"The lad's intention is to stay in Emilia," Donato Orgnoni told Il Resto del Carlino.

“We'll stay, we won't move from here. The decision has been made and we won't take it back.

“Simone is establishing himself, he's found the ideal environment in Bologna, and he thinks he can do even better so he's determined not to upset that balance.

“I'm disappointed by the speculation and the declarations of certain people, we've firmly declared our intentions.

“The interest from big clubs is true, and it's reached us too, but we've put it aside because Bologna come first and our intentions are clear."
