The management of Italy's Lecce announced plans not to participate during the winter transfer due to open in January.

Lecce's sporting director Pantaleo Corvino told journalists on Wednesday that he had talks with any of his team players and none of them would leave the squad. But it is likely to attract a new, young half, Corvino added.

It was last week that Lecce extended the contract of teenage Bulgarian prodigy Valeri Bojinov, one of the top young strikers in Italy, for another four seasons.

After scoring three times last season, the powerfully built Bojinov has developed into one of Serie A's most dangerous scorers with eight goals in 13 matches so far this season for fourth place on the league scoring chart.

Sporting director Pantaleo Corvino first signed Bojinov when he was just 13.
