Palermo midfielder Fabio Simplicio is a target for Lazio, but he is happy to stay at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.
After the disappointment at a mid-table finish last term, Palermo have rung the changes this summer.
Nine players have arrived in Sicily and five, including star striker Amauri, have left, but the job still isn’t complete.
Brazilian midfielder Fabio Simplicio is widely expected to head for the exit, but he now seems keen to stay and fight for a place, despite the arrival of Azzurrini star Antonio Nocerino.
“I would be happy to stay at Palermo,” he told Stadionews.it.
“I think that we have a solid backbone to this squad. The new players will certainly give us a hand, even if we need further additions. We just need to keep working hard.
“I am under contract until 2010 and I would like to stay as long as the club still believe in me.
“Neither my agent or myself have heard anything, so I presume that I have the trust of my Coach and the staff.”
