The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Romania-c2990 international has poured cold water on rumours claiming that the player wants to leave the Ligue 1 outfit before the end of the transfer window
The 27-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and abroad in recent times, with reports claiming that his agent is on the lookout for a new club for the player.
However, Nicolita, who arrived at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard last season from Steaua Bucharest, has pledged his loyalty to Les Verts.
While talking to reporters, the former CF Braila player stressed that he is going nowhere and is looking forward to feature regularly for ASSE in the 2012/2013 campaign.
When asked about him being linked with a move away from the Greens, the Romanian stated that he is well aware of such rumours, but added that there is no truth behind such reports.
Reports claimed that the player is unhappy with the life in Massif Central and is looking for a new club. However, Nicolita has rubbished such reports. The versatile player, who can play on either wing as well as a full-back, claimed that his future lies
with Saint-Etienne and he does not wish to leave.
"I have read that, but it has no truth behind it", the 27-year-old told reporters when asked about his future.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Banel-Nicolita-c7284 failed to cement a place in the starting line-up last season and it was being claimed that the player will decide to quit the French club this season.
However, the Romanian has stressed that he has massive affection for Les Verts and he wants to stay with the Ligue 1 outfit and fight for his place.
Saint-Etienne narrowly missed out on the Europa Leagues last season, after finishing 7th in the Ligue 1. And Nicolita has set his sights on helping Christophe Galtier’s side to a European place finish this time around.
"I want to fight and help my side qualify for the Europa League next season. And to play in Europe with Saint-Etienne would be great."
The Romania international made 19 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit in the 2011/2012 season. The 27-year-old was usually used as a right-back by coach, Christophe Galtier, but he still managed to find the back of the net on three occasions.
