Riccardo Orsolini says he's fully committed to Bologna.
The midfielder has been linked with Fiorentina ahead of the January market.
But he told Il Corriere dello Sport: “I'll tell you the truth. My agent has often spoken to me about the possibility, about an interest. I'm talking about two years ago already.
“I have always said, with the utmost respect, that I wanted to stay here. Because I have been with Bologna for many years and then because they're not a step forward."
Orsolini added: “We want to continue this positive streak. Certainly, the match in Florence will be an important moment, which'll make us understand where we can go. They're a very good team."
