The agent of Palermo star Amauri says that his client will not be leaving during the January transfer window, and says that he has a transfer value of  25m Euros.

The Brazilian hitman is widely regarded as one of the top strikers in Serie A, and he has been in great form recently, scoring six times in his last 10 games.

This has led to rumours that a number of big clubs would table a bid for the 27-year-old in January, with AC Milan heavily linked.

"Amauri has a lot of admirers but not just today", said his agent Mariano Grimaldi.

"He has had admirers for four years due to the amazing things he is doing at Palermo.

"I believe that he will remain at Palermo until June, and then we will see how events evolve.

"Amauri needs to play for a big squad, and he has a value of 25m.Euros"

Amauri first came to Italian shores in 2001 with Napoli, and he has since represented the colours of Piacenza, Messina and Chievo Verona, before moving to Palermo in 2006.

He has yet to play for the Brazil national team, which has led to speculation that he could represent Italy at Euro 2008, if he receives an Italian passport in time.
