No place like Rome for Perrotta
Wednesday 22 April, 2009

Roma star Simone Perrotta has rejected links with England and insisted that he will finish his career with the Giallorossi.

The English-born midfielder has been touted as a possible target for West Ham or Manchester City in recent weeks.

Perrotta's contract expires in 2010 and Roma's impending failure to qualify for the Champions League has hit the club hard, but it seems that he is staying put.

“It's true that Perrotta is waiting on the club for a new deal,” agent Giuseppe Bozzo told Romanews.eu.

“He wants to end his career with Roma and I have always said that. If no offer from the club arrived then he would still honour his contract.

“There has been contact from the directors and we are waiting for a proposal, which will arrive.

“The Champions League qualification race doesn't affect the player or his agent.

“I haven't spoken to West Ham or Manchester City, but I can say that the player was chased by other sides in the past.”
