Udinese chief Pietro Leonardi says a deal for Nigerian starlet Obiorah Nwankwo is not yet locked in.

Nwankwo is tied to Real Murcia in Spain and there is talk of a co-ownership agreement between Parma and Inter Milan.

Leonardi told TMW: "At most, there may be negotiations underway, but from this to saying that he has already signed is some way off. I cannot comment on things, so maybe we'll not even buy the player."
