Sampdoria goalkeeper Sergio Romero has dismissed reports that he turned down a move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
A transfer deadline day deal was rumoured to have broken down because the Argentinian number one refused to join the Premier League club, but he has once again spoken out to deny those reports.
“Many lies have been spread, like, for example, that I refused a transfer to Manchester United,” he stated while speaking to Radio Nacional.
“To me, something like that is crazy.”
Romero spent the 2013/2014 season on loan at Monaco and this season finds himself behind first choice Emiliano Viviano, a state of affairs he is aware can’t continue for ever.
“I can’t do this for much longer.
“The same thing happened to me in France – arriving at a club when the transfer window was nearly closed and having to wait for an opportunity.
“I am happy at Sampdoria though, and I will keep showing the coach that I am ready to play and that I don’t want to keep sitting on the bench.”
