Udinese chief Pietro Leonardi insists their star trio of Gaetano D'Agostino, Gokhan Inler and Antonio di Natale are staying.

"We have no fear of losing D'Agostino, nor any other player from this squad," said Leonardi. "Di Natale is happy in Udine and he will stay long.

"The English clubs won't unsettle Inler.

"And with (coach Pasquale) Marino, our project will depend on him for a long time into the future."
