Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller has insisted that midfielder Kevin Kampl will not be allowed to leave the club this month.
It has been reported that Atletico Madrid are interested in signing the Slovenian, who joined Leverkusen from Borussia Dortmund at the start of the season.
However, Voller, while also discussing the futures of Javier Hernandez and Christoph Kramer, has played down talk of a move.
"What applies to Chicharito (Javier Hernandez) and Christoph Kramer is the same for Kampl. We're not going to let anyone go," he told Bild. "It's definitely not an issue. Kevin is delighted with us and we are happy with him. We need the player."
Kampl, 25, has scored twice in 24 appearances for his German club this season.
