Brighi Future In Rome Uncertain

fount : Goal.com



Talking to Teleradiostereo, Brighi’s agent, Vanni Puzzolo, described his player’s current contractual situation with Roma: “We met with Roma on our request, hoping to easily renew the contract and the club showed us that it was counting on Matteo for the future.”

Puzzolo explained that a tentative four-year agreement had been reached between the two parties but the negotiations were far from smooth: “We had been working on a four-year contract extension set to end in 2012. But at one point we saw that the club were no longer convinced about their feelings, so we enquired and received clarification.”

As to the cause of the club’s hesitancy, Puzzolo said, “I suppose journalists are to blame. The papers published rumours about an interest from Celtic and speculation about delays in the negotiations. From there, I took control of the situation and went directly to the club. We received the trust of the management and the coaching staff and we are happy to continue here.”

The 27-year-old’s agent did, however, acknowledge the possibility that his player may still leave the Eternal City before the new season kicks off: “The transfer window will close on September 1 and until then we have agreed with the club to consider all the possibilities that may emerge up until that point.”
