Udinese have silenced talk of star striker Antonio di Natale leaving the club in the summer, after Roma were linked with a move for the talented front man. Udinese appear quite angered by the transfer speculation.

“In all honesty, I am tired of this song and dance,” snapped Friuli director general Pietro Leonardi on Radio Kiss Kiss.

“There has never been a negotiation and we don’t have the conditions to start one either. With four rounds to go I really don’t want to even talk about such pointless things.

“Right now all our focus must be on these remaining games. The Champions League seems to be far away for us, but the door to the UEFA Cup is within reach.”
