Udinese patron Giampaolo Pozzo insists they do not need to sell this summer.

The Friulani are in the Champions League preliminary round for the second year running and have brought Luis Muriel back from his loan spell at Lecce.

"The team has already been drawn up for next season, the project is in place and over the next few days more will become clear," Pozzo told the official club website.

"Obviously we are keeping some things to ourselves right now for tactical reasons, but the team will be competitive despite the fact every summer some players leave for big clubs. It is difficult to keep them when the top sides make an offer."
