Agent: No Inter offer for Panucci
Wednesday 28 January, 2009

The agent of Roma defender Christian Panucci expects the veteran's future to be decided shortly and insists there has been no approach from Inter.

An irreparable rift has developed between Panucci and Coach Luciano Spalletti after the ex-Inter man refused to accept a substitute's role against Napoli last weekend.

Panucci was fined for refusing to sit on the bench and immediately insisted that he was allowed to leave Roma, prompting links with many sides.

In spite of Panucci's insistence that he wouldn't play for another Italian side, there have been suggestions he could rejoin Inter, where he spent the 1999-2000 campaign.

“We are in a period of the transfer market when we hear links with all sorts of teams,” Oscar Damiani told Fcinternews.it.

“But nobody from Inter has called me. There have been approaches from French sides and medium-sized Italian clubs.

“We will know something more in a few days. We have until the end of the week and I'm sure we will find a solution.”
