Marco Giampaolo assures “nobody will leave” Empoli in January and is pleased with a draw at Chievo.

“Our first half was below par, but not because the lads have been affected by transfer gossip,” the Coach told Rai Sport.

“We had some problems during the week and lost Riccardo Saponara to flu. He is our extra weapon, the one who can break the tactical deadlock.

“Our first half was below par, but not because the lads have been affected by transfer gossip,” the Coach told Rai Sport.

“We had some problems during the week and lost Riccardo Saponara to flu. He is our extra weapon, the one who can break the tactical deadlock.

“After the first half when we had to settle into the game, we did well after the break I think the draw was the fair result.”

Lorenzo Tonelli was on target today and has been linked with Roma, while Federico Barba was named as a target by Napoli.

“The President and the club have been very clear. Nobody will leave. It could be something unpredictable happens on the very last day of the transfer window, but it would have to be pondered very carefully.

“The future of the players goes through their present, so if they play a good second half of the season, they’ll be wanted even more.”
