Palermo chief Walter Sabatini has ruled out selling midfielder Fabio Simplicio.

The Brazilian is admired by bigger clubs and Sabatini says: "We are pleased that the player is admired by large clubs, except that we want to keep him.

"Simplicio should keep in mind the problems of global football today, and therefore also at Palermo, a club that wants to keep his players, but on terms acceptable to everyone."
