FC Augsburg coach Markus Weinzierl doesn't let Felix Uduokhai go amid reported interest from Atalanta.

"We definitely need him, he's a certain starter and important. A departure is not an option for me," Weinzierl told Kicker.

According to reports, Atalanta have opened talks to sign the 23-year-old centre-back, who would cost at least €15 million.

Uduokhai still has three years left on his contract with 'Die Fuggerstädter'.
