Udinese's Italy striker Antonio Di Natale has pledged his future to the club following a disappointing time at Euro 2008.
The 31-year-old's penalty shoot-out miss against Spain proved fatal to the Azzurri's chances of glory and DI Natale now wants to move on and re-focus on life at the Friuli.
He told the club's official website: "I have never said that I want to leave Udine. This week we will meet and discuss the future.
"The club and the fans have given me so much and deserve lots of the credit for what I have achieved.
"It is an honour for me to be at a club that knows how to work well.
"We will be able to compete in the UEFA Cup and I am sure that the club will bring in the right reinforcements. I have great faith in the directors."
