Catania president Antonino Pulvirenti has revealed that Francesco Lodi will not be allowed to leave the Italian club this month.
The 28-year-old's performances this season have led to suggestions that AC Milan and Inter Milan were preparing a bid for the midfielder, but Pulvirenti has quelled talk of a move.
He told Sky Italia: "He remains. The club have allowed him to become who he is now and from our side we respect the word 'done'. I don't want to talk with others. We respect what we say."
Lodi has scored four goals for the club this season.
