Cam set to stay in Turin
Mauro Camoranesi has told Juventus that he will not be requesting a transfer when the January transfer window opens.
The Argentine-born midfielder made no secret of his desire to leave the Turin outfit after their demotion to Serie B and was allegedly eyeing a January move, according to recent statements released by his agent.
However, the World Cup winner has now changed his mind and looks set to remain until at least the end of the season, according to Tuttosport.
"In January I will not ask to be sold – I'm happy to stay here," declared Camoranesi, who confirmed his intention to the club’s sporting director Alessio Secco.
The player was eyed by Lyon and Valencia during the summer but Juve blocked his departure, much to his discontent.
Camoranesi was then booed by the Bianconeri faithful during their first few Serie B matches, but his performance on Tuesday against Crotone has drawn praise from Coach Didier Deschamps and chief Giovanni Cobolli Gigli.
“I was pleased to see Camoranesi play at his best, I think his attitude has changed in the past few days,” said the Bianconeri tactician.
“The supporters were not kind with him on Saturday when they booed him, but I think he reacted in the best possible way – on the pitch with his feet.”
“I’m satisfied with Camoranesi’s attitude, he played a fantastic game and showed what a class player he is,” insisted Cobolli Gigli.
Reports on Wednesday suggested that Premiership side West Ham were interested in netting the world champion and were ready to offer up to £5.7m in the New Year.
