Parma director Alessandro Lucarelli has insisted that midfielder Dejan Kulusevski will remain on loan at his side until the end of the season.
The teenager is on loan from Atalanta and has interested Premier League sides Southampton, Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He has put in some impressive performances in the Italian top flight this season which has seen rumours emerge that he could be recalled by Atalanta in January. However, as quoted on HITC, Lucarelli said:
At least until the end of the season, he will stay with us.
Kulusevski is a born talent. For this reason, Atalanta gave him only a dry loan (one without an option to buy clause) because they knew his qualities. He has an incredible maturity.
READ SOUTHAMPTON VERDICT
Kulusevski is one of the most highly-rated players in the Serie A at the moment and Atalanta reportedly will ask for €25m for him.
He’s currently thriving during his loan spell so it wouldn’t make much sense for Atalanta to recall him and disrupt his progress and momentum.
The Saints will still be keeping a close eye on his situation but it seems unlikely that he will move until the summer.
