Ciro Immobile denies transfer rumours and says he will ‘not leave’ Borussia Dortmund, because he wants to ‘repay the trust’ placed in him.
The Italian international had been linked to Milan for a return to Italy despite having only joined the German team last summer.
Whilst there was talk of a possible swap deal involving Stephan El Shaarawy, the forward has now denied the possibility of a transfer back to his home country just yet.

“Borussia Dortmund spent a lot of money for me and I want to repay their trust,” said the striker, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb.
“[Robert] Lewandowski is a world-class striker, but I'm not here to wipe out his memory. I came to contribute.
“Could I return to Italy? No, last summer I made a clear decision. Besides, I wouldn't leave the team in this moment of hardship.”
