The Friulani do not even want to comment the speculation that Quagliarella could be on his way out after just one season at the club.

Leonardi has moved to close the issue, rebuffing claims that the former Sampdoria player will be joining the Giallorossi during this transfer window.

"A transfer of Fabio to Trigoria? I don't want to comment this rumour which appeared in the press," declared the general director to Romanews.eu, clearly annoyed with this speculation.

In his first season with the Bianconeri Quagliarella made 37 appearances and scored 12 goals to help his team to a respectable seventh position in the standings.
