A.S Roma chief Walter Sabatini coy over Stekelenburg signing and hoping for Vucinic to stay
A.S Roma http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maarten-Stekelenburg-c22998, and insists the club do not want to sell Mirko Vucinic.
Roma are linked with the Dutch international for some time now and reports in the media suggested that the shot-stopper will complete his move in the coming week. The Giallorossi are certainly in the transfer market for a new goalkeeper,
as their number one choice, Alexander http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
Stekelenburg has only one year left on his existing contract with the Dutch side and has refused to sign extension. The 28-year-old has caught the eye of many top European clubs, including, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, Atletico Madrid and Manchester
United too.
Sabatini confirmed that he has discussed the option of signing the shot-stopper with the manager, Luis Enrique, and the club is closely monitoring the player. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 chief denied rumours of problems in agreeing the valuation
with Ajax.
Talking to the reporters Sabatini said, “We talked it over with the Coach and I’m not yet sure how things will go. It’s a technical evaluation and not down to the value of the player. We’ll sign another couple of young players,
without doubt a midfielder and a defender. We already have a very strong squad.”
On the other hand, Sabatini has once again expressed his desire to keep striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mirko-Vucinic-c26024, at the club despite his wish to leave Roma in the summer transfer window.
The striker has expressed his desire to leave the Stadio Olimpico Rome after becoming a hate figure amongst the fans. The striker has attracted interest from host of European clubs including, Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385, Tottenham Hotspur
and Juventus. However, Sabatini has denied the speculations linking the Montenegrin with the Turin giants.
“The negotiations with Juventus do not exist, so it’s impossible to tell you any more about that. We don’t want to sell Vucinic. Of course, we’ll have to see what he wants to do.”
Roma are looking to rebuild their squad and Sabatini will be hoping that the striker extends his stay at the club.
