The midfielder has been linked with a return to Roma this month.
But Ausilio told Sky Italia: “It is much simpler than it seems: the player never asked to leave.
“The coach assessed the team; we know our objectives, which are many, and that he is an important player for us.
“He has never explicitly expressed the idea of leaving, and no clubs have presented themselves to us with offers.
'However, he does have a sympathetic agent, a friend, but we know that he is also active and may have aroused some interest in him.
“From that perspective, attention has become more media-driven.
“We are happy with him. He has played less due to significant physical problems, but I would like to add that he has always made himself available and has never let up.”
On Taj Buchanan's future, Ausilio opened the door to a loan exit.
He continues: “We will discuss with him and his entourage whether it is more appropriate to complete his development elsewhere in the coming months.
“Due to his injury he has not played much and both Italian and foreign clubs are interested.
“We are evaluating the situation. But I don't rule out him staying, because we still have many games to play and all our players are of important and international level.
“We will listen to everyone, but he has also not expressed a desire to leave. We want to continue with this team.”
