English Premier League side Blackburn Rovers have reportedly rejected an offer from Newell’s Old Boys to re-sign http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauro-Formica-c24972 on a loan move.
The 23-year-old forward began playing professional football with the Argentina side Newell’s Old Boys youth academy, graduating into the senior team in 2006 when he was 18 years old. He made a total of 84 appearances in five years and scored 20 goals before
moving on to the Premier League in the January transfer window of 2011.
According to reports Blackburn Rovers paid an estimated amount of £3.5 million to sign the young attacking midfielder. Since then Formica has made 21 appearances for the Rovers and has scored two goals so far in all competitions.
With Blackburn Rovers currently struggling in the English Premier League Formica is known to want a move back to Argentina. He revealed how his agent had approached the English club regarding a possible move but had been told a loan move was not possible
at this stage.
Formica said while speaking to reporters:
“My agent spoke with the leaders of Blackburn to see if they would let me go on loan. It was a possibility and I got excited a lot.
But the sporting director told him to sit and talk only if it was a sale.”
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 will be looking for funds to bring in reinforcements and get rid of players
who have failed to make an impact so far.
While Formica has talent, he is currently still developing and getting used to the Premier League. It is for this reason that the Rovers wouldn’t mind parting ways with the Argentinean attacking midfielder to sign a player who would be of more use to them.
As for what the player wants, Formica is known to want a move away since he has not had regular football since arriving in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. He knows for certain he will be given a place in the starting XI if he is permitted to return to Newell’s Old Boys.
