Fabio Borini expects to remain with Liverpool next season.
Sunderland are keen to bring back the Italy striker after his successful loan.
But agent Marco de Marchi said: "I have read that people are talking about Sunderland trying to sign Borini permanently and I know for certain there is interest and not just from them.
"There have been approaches from several countries, including Italy.
"I have not spoken to Brendan Rodgers yet but the player is tied to Liverpool by contract for another two years and at the moment I don't see that he could leave.
"Anyone who wants Borini will have to talk to Liverpool but I know he would like to continue his Premier League adventure because it's a style of football that suits him perfectly."
