Sampdoria have warned any potential suitors that resurgent striker Antonio Cassano is not for sale at any price.
The controversial frontman was a surprise inclusion in coach Roberto Donadoni's Italy squad for Euro 2008 after 18 months in the international wilderness.
But after answering his critics during the tournament and scoring ten goals in 22 games for Samp while on loan from a troubled spell at Real Madrid last season, the striker has been linked with several other Serie A clubs.
However, president Riccardo Garrone is adamant the former AS Roma star will not be leaving this summer.
"Some clubs have already made enquiries over Cassano but we are proud to have brought back on of Italy's best talents," he said.
"Everyone here at the club has worked hard to bring the player back to his best and, at least for this year, we will not sell him for any price."
