Feyenoord’s technical director Martin van Geel insists that the club have not received any offers for their striker Graziano Pelle.
Last week, the 27-year-old was associated with a move away from the Eredivisie side and Russian club Zenit St. Petersburg were said to be interested in him.
The technical director feels that Pelle, who came on loan from Serie A club Parma last season, is the perfect striker for the club.
Fans of the Rotterdam outfit can feel relaxed as Van Geel claims that there is no concrete interest in Pelle.

Van Geel told Dutch magazine NUsport, "No, Zenit did not call. And there is no other club interested in Pelle. I also hope that he stays with Feyenoord for a long time. He is the perfect striker for us.”
He is also aware of AC Milan’s interest in his club’s defender Bruno Martins Indi but says he has not heard anything regarding that.
The Eredivisie side’s transfer supremo furthermore quashed reports suggesting that Feyenoord have contacted Turkish club Fenerbahce about Dirk Kuyt.
Van Geel was quoted as saying, "It is very calm this summer. I read about the interest from AC Milan in Bruno Martins Indi. But we have heard nothing. And we did not contact Fenerbahce about Dirk Kuyt. I do not understand where that rumour came up from.”
On 5th January 2013, Pelle signed a four-year contract with Feyenoord, effective as of 1st July 2013.
