Brazilian forward Amantino Mancini has revealed he turned down an
offer from Liverpool to stay at Roma.
Mancini was strongly linked with a move to Anfield during the
summer - and the 27-year-old admitted Reds boss Rafael Benitez had
targeted him.
"Liverpool wanted me, along with Inter Milan, Lyon and Real
Madrid," said Mancini, whose club take on Manchester United in the
Champions League next month.
"But I hope to reach an agreement with Roma in the next month to
sign a new contract.
"The rest doesn't interest me. All I want is to concentrate on
playing." Roma have begun the season with three straight victories,
and Mancini told Italian TV: "We are capable of winning the Serie A
title."
