Simplicio offered renewal
Saturday 20 June, 2009

Palermo have offered highly rated Brazilian midfielder Fabio Simplicio a 'fair and correct' contract extension.

The 29-year-old former Sao Paulo youngster was excellent for the Rosanero last season, scoring eight goals.

“Palermo are always very consistent when it comes to renewals,” the club's director of sport, Walter Sabatini, said.

“Simplicio has been made an offer we consider to be fair and correct, and we stop there.

“We know what the player's value is and we want to keep him but only on the conditions we consider to be correct.”

Talking to Mediagol.it, Sabatini denied reports claiming other clubs had recently come in for Simplicio.

“We don't know anything about the interest of which you speak also because these clubs should first speak with us about buying the player.

“Nothing has arrived on my desk and I don't think Gilmar Rinaldi, the player's agent, has heard anything either.

“It's probable that the player interests a lot of clubs, but since these clubs have yet to come forward, for now, we can say Simplicio is above all interested in Palermo,” Sabatini concluded.
