Roma director Ricky Massara denies a deal has been agreed for Atalanta midfielder Franck Kessie.

There's been claims Kessie is already on his way to Roma.

“No, that's not the case. Kessie is an Atalanta player, a very good player who has received attention from big clubs, but Atalanta have no intention of selling and are holding on tight," said Massara.

“Alessandro Florenzi is nearly ready to return and we trust he'll be on the pitch in 15 days. We have got Mohamed Salah back and he wanted to be immediately at our disposal once he returned from Africa.

“Our objective is to be competitive all the way. We know it's difficult to be at Juve's level, but we want to be competitive to the end."
