Agent Claims Roma Are Interested In Pavlyuchenko

UPDATE: According to Sky Sports News, the agent of Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko admitted that Roma are interested in his client. Oliver Wendt told romagiallorossa.com:

“It is true, yesterday Daniele Prade was in London to better understand the situation of Pavlyuchenko but we don’t know the real intentions of the Giallorossi … However, the player will surely leave Tottenham as he wanted to leave them this summer.”

“It is a feasible piece of business with Roma, but we need to see the needs of the two clubs in question. Roman would be willing to transfer to the Italian capital.”

November 18th, 2009 According to ESPN Soccernet, Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko would love to return to Spartak Moscow if he is given the chance. He told Sportbox,

“I have a huge desire to return … If I receive a good offer, I’ll be sure to accept it. Spartak has a place in my heart, always.”

“In my first year in England, I played consistently, scored goals and was successful with the national team. I had an insight into English football and learned a lot. It was a good, if not completely positive, experience and will be helpful for the future, so I have no regrets, but the current situation doesn’t suit me.”

Giovinco Not Leaving Juventus For LFC

According to Salvatore Landolina at Goal.com, Juventus youngster Sebastian Giovinco will not be leaving the club for Liverpool in January. His agent Luca Pasqualin said,

“I don’t think there is much to read into the reports in the sense that Giovinco will remain at Juventus … I don’t know who came out with the news, but I can say that Giovinco will stay in Turin. That is the truth.”

“To be honest I have not read the article, but even if I did, I wouldn’t have read too much into it … Giovinco is a Juventus player and he has the faith of the coach and the club … [As for Liverpool], there are no real comments to make. He will stay at Juve.”

“Tom’s contract is up in the summer and he will be leaving Manchester United … Tom is ready to move on as he wants to be playing regularly at this stage of his career.”

“Ideally he would like to move on in January rather than waiting until the summer as he just wants to be playing … There are about half a dozen clubs interested in him and I am sure United would agree to letting him leave for a small fee if someone came in for him.”
