Atalanta technical director Giovanni Sartori insists their star attacking trio will stay next season.

Papu Gomez, Josip Ilicic and Duvan Zapata have all been linked with moves away.

“It's true that we have sold a lot, but it's not true that we sell when the right offer arrives," he said, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

“The principle is to sell one or two from the team, but we sell to become stronger. I believe the three tenors will remain in Bergamo for a while.

“It's a belief but also a hope. I believe it's also what the owner wants."
