EXCLUSIVE: Juventus & Siena Striker Michele Paolucci Rejects Almeria Transfer
Italian striker Michele Paolucci, who is co-owned by Juventus and Siena, has rejected a transfer to Spanish side Almeria, Goal.com can exclusively reveal.
The hitman, who spent the second half of last season on loan with Juventus, has made it clear he will not drop into Serie B with relegated Siena, revealing there are a number of top-flight teams keen on his services.
"One thing is for sure, I will not stay with Siena. It's not because I don't want to play in Tuscany or Serie B, but because the club has made other choices and I am not part of their project," he told Goal.com.
"I agree with both Juventus and Siena selling their stakes in me, we just have to see what shirt I will be wearing next season. There's no rush though, we are taking things calmly."
Almeria have also been excluded as Paolucci prefers to stay in Italy.
"I received an important offer from Spain, from Almeria to be exact. I am intrigued by La Liga, but there is still time to go there, I am young and I want to prove my value in Italy," he added.
"I feel I have plenty to offer Italian football. I don't want to name clubs, but four or five teams in Serie A are interested and my agent is dealing with that.
"In any case we will know my future soon."
