Udinese patron Giampaolo Pozzo insists they won't sell their star players.

The likes of Mehdi Benatia, Mauricio Isla, Luis Muriel and Kwadwo Asamoah are all attracting major interest.

"First of all I'd like to point out no real concrete offers have arrived for our players, but above all Udinese have no intention of selling our crown jewels," said Pozzo.

"We do not intend to throw away all the good work we've done with such effort over the last two years. The team and staff have done exceptionally well and the club is working to ensure they have at their disposal the players, infrastructure and environment that is modern, efficient and state of the art.

"Those can help us reach our real objective, which is to consolidate the step up in quality we have made in the last two years."
