Palermo sporting director Rino Foschi has insisted that star striker Luca Toni will not be sold this summer.
A split seemed to be on the cards after the Sicilian club were linked with Brescia ace Andrea Caracciolo – a player similar in style to Toni.
But Foschi has maintained that the target man will remain despite Fiorentina’s apparent interest in him.
"There is no Toni problem to resolve," he told Datasport. "The player is currently on holiday but he will be back with us in pre-season, that is for sure."
Toni scored 20 League goals in the last campaign as Palermo finished sixth, ensuring an historic UEFA Cup place.
But Foschi has looked to calm enthusiasm at the Stadio Renzo Barbera ahead of the new term.
"We need to ensure our Serie A status as soon as possible in the new campaign," he continued. "Only after that should we think about entertaining the fans.
"It won’t be easy to repeat last season’s achievements but we will certainly give it our best shot."
Foschi also commented on the capture of 1982-born midfielder Massimo Bonanni, signed from Roma this week.
"He is a young wide player who is very interesting," added the official. "He will be one of our 24-man squad."
