Roma chief Walter Sabatini says they do not want to lose Juan Manuel Iturbe.

Sabatini blocked a move to Genoa for Iturbe last summer.

He said: “I told Iturbe to play the way he did when he was a child, to not get trapped in the tactical plan. He needs to play adolescent football, to shake off the responsibility on his shoulders that you reporters put on to him.

“Iturbe won't leave in January, unless he is the one who wants to go."
