Ifølge Cellino blir ikke Antenucci solgt i dette vinduet fordi det ikke er tid å få inn en erstatning.
Synes det høres fornuftig ut.
Og kilden på uttalelsen fra Cellino?
Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino says striker Mirco Antenucci will not be leaving the club.
Antenucci is being strongly linked with a return to Italy today with the 31-year-old having already reportedly turned down a move to Italian third tier side Foggia.
The striker is out of contract at Elland Road in the summer and he is free to leave the club. Leeds could have cashed in on the striker before the window closed but Cellino says there would not be any time for them to bring in a replacement if he did leave.
"I really don`t know what he is thinking," Cellino told Mirror Sport.
"But now I think it is too late to get someone else for us."
Ascoli, Bari & Cagliari, Novara and Pescara have also been linked with a move for the striker this window.
Antenucci finished his first season at Leeds as the clubs leading goalscorer with ten goals despite struggling to earn a place in the side in the second half of the season.
He has netted five goals so far this season but he has once again struggled to earn a regular starting place in the side and he hasn`t started a championship game since the trip to Queens Park Rangers in November.
