Tommasi denies Levante deal Thursday 20 July, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Free agent Damiano Tommasi has denied reports that he’s already agreed to join Spanish club Levante.
The outfit did suggest that the midfielder would be joining them just hours after he confirmed his Roma departure, but he’s since dismissed that suggestion.
“I just want to confirm what my agent Andrea Pretti has said, we have received some offers but nothing concrete,” stated Tommasi.
“I’m with my family right now and we are evaluating whether an experience abroad is possible or not,” he added.
“I’m in no rush. I hope to be the first, or one of the first, to announce any eventual new destination.”
The likeable midfielder, famed for his charity work, has only played for two clubs in his career – Verona and Roma.
He moved to the Stadio Olimpico in 1996 and was part of their 2001 Scudetto winning side. He ended his Giallorossi stint with 14 goals in 263 League games.
Tommasi, 32, also hit the headlines last term when he signed a minimum wage contract with Roma – worth just over £1,000 a month – after missing a year of the game with knee ligament damage.
The former Italian international has also been paired with clubs in England and a possible return to Verona. |
