Garrone: “I note there is a lot of media coverage about Ziegler, but for us this player is too important and we have decided not to lose him. At this moment the priority is to keep a competitive squad and therefore we cannot do without him. The decision has been made. Ziegler is staying at Sampdoria.”
Although, he did go on to say: “We will only take an offer for Ziegler into consideration if it is financially favourable to us. For the moment adequate bids have not been received.”
