Atalanta sports chief Pierpaolo Marino has played down talk of moving to Inter Milan.

Marino has been linked to Inter and Fiorentina, with the Nerazzurri, particularly, seeking to beef up their front office.

"The rumors that I hear - and there's important clubs in Italy and abroad being mentioned - flatter me but nothing else," said Marino.

"I'll repeat what I have said for a couple of months: the contract that binds me to Atalanta will expire in 2017 and I intend to respect it as, indeed, I have done before.

"With the Percassi family I have a relationship that goes beyond the strictly professional."
