With the Yellow Submarine finding themselves in La Liga relegation battle, the Italian international has reaffirmed his desire to stay at El Madrigal.
After years of overachieving, financial problems have brought the high-flying club back to the ground in the 2011/12 season.
Last year, the outfit from Vila-real came to fame as the Poor Man’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, but rigours of UEFA Champions League football and the unfortunate trimming of the squad has jolted the club’s progress.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Garrido-c8443 failed at the highest level.
The Italian international has been linked with a move away from his humble surrounding of Villarreal, with his agent, Federico Pastorello, hinting about an impending transfer in the upcoming summer.
However, Rossi come out in the open and reaffirmed his desire to continue with the struggling club once he returns from injury.
Reflecting on the transfer rumours, Rossi slammed Pastorello for his outrageous comments regarding his future.
“[My agent Federico Pastorello] speaks a great deal and I’m angry with him for those statements, which do not reflect the truth.”
“Now we have clarified things and I have told him that at Villarreal I cannot be touched, because for me, this club is like a second family.”
“[Leaving] is not something I am thinking about. I understand people read newspapers and believe what is published, but sometimes things are not true and that makes me angry,” the striker said in an interview with El Periodico Mediterraneo.
Villarreal faithful are impatiently waiting for their talismanic forward who has scored 54 goals in 136 appearances since making his much-awaited transfer from Parma in 2007.
The club hierarchy will be hoping the prolific striker can jump start their campaign and guide them away from relegation as Spanish top flight football season enters its final stages.
Villarreal have accumulated a measly 27 points from their 25 La Liga matches, and find themselves a measly 3 points above relegation berths.
