Ranocchia is currently on a co-ownership deal between Inter Milan and Genoa and he is expected to return to the Nerazzurri on a full-term basis next summer.

Reports in Italy claimed the 22-year-old could even join the Nerazzurri as early as January. However, Preziosi said to Gazzetta dello Sport: "Not even for €25 million will he (Ranocchia) move in January.

"It's due to Ranocchia that we have changed our defensive tactics."

Ranocchia, who has enjoyed a solid start to the campaign with Genoa, is in no hurry to make the move to the San Siro.

"I'm not thinking about Inter," he said. "January is a long time away."
