Roma striker Mirko Vucinic insists he wants to remain at the
Stadio Olimpico despite reported interest from Manchester
United.
Speculation has been rife that Vucinic is one of the players
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is considering as a replacement
for Real Madrid bound Cristiano Ronaldo.
Reports in Italy suggest informal contact has been made between
the clubs for the Montenegro forward but Vucinic, who recently
signed a new four-year deal, is happy to stay at the capital
club.
“It’s certainly pleasing that a great club like that are
interested in me,” he told Corriere dello Sport. “But I have only
heard about it from the newspapers.
“At the moment I’m only thinking about relaxing by the seaside
with my family.
“I’ve just signed a new contract and I’d like to stay at
Roma.”
Roma reportedly refused a 22 million euro offer from United last
summer for Vucinic but, knowing they have to sell to buy, could
accept 25 million for the 25-year-old.
