Andrea Pirlo has ruled out returning to Serie A for a loan this winter.

Antonio Conte had suggested Pirlo's odds of making Italy's Euro 2016 roster would be improved if he played in Serie A.

Pirlo has vowed to see out his 18-month contract with New York City FC.

"I want to finish my contract in America," he said in Gazzetta dello Sport at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, where he was given the Player Career Award along with teammate Frank Lampard. "New York City are an ambitious club and I didn't go to America for a holiday, but for a winning experience. Our aim is always to go out there on the field to win.

"I'm not bothered by the transfer rumours -- I'm used to them. Lots of clubs have enquired about me, but I have a contract with New York City and I want to respect it.

"They have shown a lot of faith in me and, from January, we want to start preparation for the new season all together with a new coach [Patrick Vieira], doing things well to realise important ambitions."

Alvaro Negredo has reportedly rejected the chance to join Barcelona in January.

Negredo could have joined Barcelona on a six-month loan to give the club an extra attacking option.

Negredo has told Barca he would prefer to stay at Valencia and work with new manager Gary Neville.

Charly Musonda is receiving interest from both Manchester United and Manchester City.

Musonda is reportedly unhappy with his lack of first team football with Chelsea and the fact he's not even training with the first team.

Chelsea would be open to a loan deal.
