Hellas Verona are confident keeping hold of Bruno Zuculini next season.

On-loan from Manchester City, the Argentine midfielder played a key role in Verona's promotion back to Serie A this season.

Zuculini is still tied to City until 2018, but has little chance of a future with the Premier League giants.

Verona want to keep hold of the midfielder next season - and are confident City are willing to allow him to continue with the Italians.

A good relationship between Verona chief Filippo Fusco and agent Dario Decoud is also a factor in keeping Zuculini at the club next term.
