Young Italian goalkeeping sensation Mattia Perin has promised he will remain at Genoa next season.
Perin has been linked with a number of clubs, including English giants Liverpool and Roberto Mancini's Inter. However, Genoa are hoping to keep hold of the custodian into next season.
And they have been given a big boost by the man himself, who sees his future being with the Rossoblu in 2015/16.
"At Genoa I'm fine and I want to stay", the 22-year-old explained to Telenord.
"I have a contract until 2017 and there are two more years to go. That's not too many, but it's not too few either.

"The president knows what I want. I will 100 per cent play here next year. I can say safely: next year I will play at Genoa."
However Perin, who won his first senior Italy cap last year, warned that he does not want to see the Genoa side continually ripped apart and has called for the club's squad to be kept together in the summer.
"On that note though, I would like it if the team was not dismantled every six months, so it can work better."
Perin, who is a product of Genoa's youth system, has been earmarked as the long-term successor to Gianluigi Buffon between the sticks for Italy.
The goalkeeper represented Italy at Under-17, Under-18, Under-19, Under-20 and Under-21 level before receiving the senior call.
