“I don’t know anything about my future,” the former Napoli striker told Radio Caracol.
“Every day I see myself linked to a different team, but I’m trying to stay calm. I know that Atalanta made a major effort to keep me.
“I’ve only thought about finishing the season and now I only have the national team in my mind.
“There hasn’t been any contact. I’ve read and heard things. Being linked with Real Madrid makes me proud, but I try to stay calm, with my feet on the ground, and think about what’s to come.
“It was a dream season. We managed to reach a historic objective for Atalanta, qualifying for the Champions League: we’re happy and we can’t wait to play in it.”
