Andrea Ranocchia is keen to remain at Hull City despite the club's relegation from the Premier League.
The Italy international joined the Tigers from Inter Milan in January on a loan deal until the end of the season.
it was expected Ranocchia would return to Inter in the summer after Sunday's 4-0 thumping at Crystal Palace, which sealed Hull's return to the Championship.
However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 29-year-old is enjoying his spell in England and wants to help the club back into the Premier League next term.
