Internacional president Giovanni Luigi has said that the club wants to keep hold of prized asset Leandro Damiao.
The 22-year-old has been linked with clubs across Europe after emerging as one of the brightest prospects in South America.
It was reported that both Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain failed in attempts to sign the striker.
Spurs are thought to have revived their interest in Damiao, but Luigi has said that Internacional want to keep him at the club until at least December.
"For Damiao we never received official offers from Italy, only informal contacts, no proposals on paper," Luigi told Calcio Mercato.
"The only bids were received from Tottenham and PSG, but we rejected them because our intention and hope is to keep the player at least until December 2012."
Damiao has made seven appearances for Brazil.
