Palombo happy to stay
Wednesday 8 July, 2009

Angelo Palombo will continue with Sampdoria and the Italian international is delighted at his chance to stay with the Blucerchiati.

The 28-year-old was contacted by several clubs before renewing his contract at Marassi which is now set to expire in 2013.

“I am happy to stay here,” he revealed.

“We were pulling from both sides and in the end we reached an agreement. I am delighted about it.”

Palombo was linked to Fiorentina earlier on and the Viola would have done anything possible to sign him.

However, his wish to stay at the Luigi Ferraris proved far more important. Next season Palombo will retain the captain’s armband in accordance to boss Luigi Del Neri’s wishes.
