Totti denies reports of inviting Cassano to join A.S Roma: Serie A news
A.S Roma skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302, to re-join the Giallorossi this summer.
Reports in the Italian media suggested that Totti made a phone call to Cassano and urged him be a part of Luis Enrique’s new philosophy at Rome. Cassano’s club future has been surrounded with a lot of uncertainty throughout the
summer and along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, the striker is also linked with a move to Fiorentina and Genoa.
Totti has denied all the rumours and claimed that he had not talked to Cassano for a long time and he does not even have his phone number.
Talking to the reporters Totti said, “I haven’t heard from Cassano for a lifetime. There has been no contact for a while and I don’t even have his mobile phone number. I wouldn’t ring him to call him back to Rome.”
“It’s now time for something to be made clear – I’m no longer getting involved in questions about the transfer market. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. There are directors at this club who deal with these matters.”
The 29-year-old wants a regular taste of first-team football and is still unsure whether he would get that at the San Siro. The former Real Madrid star is desperate to be considered for Italian National squad for the Euro 2012
and believes that playing regularly for the club can only ensure his inclusion in Cesare Prandelli’s setup.
The former Bari star had a fantastic outing in Italy’s recent friendly game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and won the praise of Italian manager. Prandelli has told Cassano to take care of his weight and he does not need to worry about regular
football.
Cassano joined Massimiliano Allegri’s team in the January transfer window of 2011 and helped his side to win the Scudetto in the same year. The Italian duo formed a formidable partnership for Roma as well as the Italian National
team.
Cassano scored 39 goals in 118 appearances for Roma during his four year stay at the Stadio Olimpico Rome.
