http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 regrets handing in transfer request – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
FC Porto midfielder Fernando claims everyone makes mistakes one time or another and it was the same case when he handed in a transfer request, something which he says that he now regrets.
The Brazilian International had been touted with a move away from Estadio do Dragao in the summer and also handed in a transfer request but eventually failed to engineer a switch.
Fernando had been linked with a multitude of clubs, however, it was though that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 were the ones most likely to end up securing his services.
English Premier League giants, Chelsea, stepped up their interest in the 24-year-old following the injury to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Essien-c25294, who has been ruled out until January. However, the Blues did not feel that his €30 million price-tag was worthy of a player, who was untried in the rigours of the Premiership and eventually turned their attention to other targets.
Roma had also targeted the Selecao International as a replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112, but as the Italian did not complete his proposed transfer to Manchester United, the Giallorossi did not follow up their initial interest.
After a turbulent summer, Fernando eventually committed his future to the Portistas and now admits that he is regretting his decision of handing in a transfer request.
"Sometimes we make wrong and precipitated decision. I want to make up for what I did wrong and for what Porto have done for me.”
Now close to regaining his berth in the centre of the field, the former Vila Nova man claimed that he is working hard to become a rightful part of side once again.
"I want to give my best on the field to recover what I lost,” Fernando was quoted as saying.
After a summer of relentless speculation and intense media scrutiny, Fernando will be keen to make the headlines for his footballing ability rather than his antics and for that he will have to prove to new manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira that he is capable of ousting Fredy Guarin for a starting eleven role.
