Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has said that the club will not sell Gonzalo Higuain this summer.
The 27-year-old has been a key player for the Partenopei since his big-money transfer from Real Madrid two years ago.
However, he has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, due to their failure to quality for next season's Champions League.
Despite all of the speculation surrounding his future, his club have ruled out the possibility of letting him go and are instead focused on improving their current squad.
"Some Italian clubs from the north have taken an interest, but he will stay with us," he told Sportitalia.
"Now the job is to reinforce both the midfield and defence. We want to touch the attack as little as possible."
Higuain scored 29 goals in all competitions for Napoli last season.
