Previously, according to the Italian media football market reports, Napoli, Turin, Cagliari and Fiorentina all wanted to bring in the 21-year-old Albanian centre-back, but the player himself had no intention of leaving Roma, and manager Mourinho did not put him in the first batch of purge lists in the winter window.
