“Of course there are rumours, we know that, in Italy, they’ll always start circulating at this point in the season, it comes with the territory.

“We have objectives which are too important for Sampdoria to be distracted by these arguments. The contract gives us the option to automatically renew the Serbian’s contract in the event of staying up.

“That’s included in the agreement between the two parties, and I’m glad we’re talking about him because it means he’s done a good job here at Sampdoria.

“In addition, he’s a loyal person and a great professional.”
