Udinese have insisted that they have no plans to sell Switzerland midfielder Gokhan Inler, despite renewed rumours of interest from a number of clubs across the continent.

The 25-year-old is reported to be a major target for Napoli, but Udine insist that no deal is likely for a player who is under contract until the summer of 2012.

General director Sergio Gasparin told Radio Kiss Kiss: "Inler is a great player and it's logical that many clubs are interested in him. Gokhan is also an exceptional person.

"Our position is that of giving continuity to our technical project, hence, we do not want to enter talks to discuss Inler's eventual departure."

Inler's agent, Dino Lamberti, also moved to play down the links to Napoli, adding on Radio Gol: "I haven't had any contact with Napoli.

"The player has a contract with Udinese and, honestly, I would not like to do anything that could be considered disrespectful towards a serious club like Udinese.

"Inler is also highly regarded in Udine. There is even a fan club in his honour that boasts 450 members."
