Hellas Verona have refused to even consider the departure of Brazilian-born sensation Jorginho, despite Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all queuing up for the 21-year-old.
Jorginho inspired Verona to promotion from Serie B last term and in so doing attracted attention from Liverpool, with the Reds sniffing around the attack-minded midfielder over the summer.
The young starlet has not disappointed in Serie A, helping Verona become the surprise story of the early stage of the campaign; the club currently sit fourth in the table.
And Jorginho recently added Arsenal and Chelsea to his suitors, admitting he knew both had scouts in the stands when he hit a brace at the weekend, helping Verona beat Parma 3-2.

But the Italian club's sporting director does not wish to hear transfer talk around the Italy Under-21 star at present and is closing his ears.
Sean Sogliano told Radio Blu when asked about Jorginho: "It's nice that you speak well about our players, but it's not the time to talk about the market."
Jorginho has been rated at around the €10m mark, a sum which Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool would have little problem dispensing.
He has also been the subject of interest from Inter, who will take a close look at his talents when Verona travel to play the Nerazzurri tomorrow.
