Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini insists Javier Pastore will remain at the club next season.
The highly-rated Argentinian playmaker has been a reported target of several European clubs, including Chelsea, Barcelona and Manchester City.
"Pastore wants to remain at Palermo," Zamparini told Gazzetta dello Sport. "He is a very intelligent man, who wants to improve. He has decided to remain with us for another year."
The 21-year-old, who joined Palermo from Huracan in 2009, has also attracted the attentions of Serie A clubs Napoli and Roma.
"I have already turned down a €50m offer for Pastore," Zamparini said. "Even if Chelsea were to make an offer this year, he would not move. Barcelona already made an offer and I said to them that this year he would not leave."
Pastore is Palermo's top scorer with ten league goals in 30 appearances so far this season, and is under contract with the club until June 2014.
