Newcastle and Everton blow as Sampdoria block January exit of midfield star

Newcastle and Everton blow as Sampdoria block January exit of midfield star

Technically, Antonio Romei is ‘only’ the lawyer of Sampdoria. Truth is, Romei’s position at Sampdoria is more powerful than that being Massimo Ferrero’s right-hand man. Romei released an interview with Il Secolo XIX to explain the position of the club regarding January sales.

The interview should concern Everton and Newcastle as both Premier League clubs are being linked with signing Dennis Praet who has a € 25 million release clause included in his deal and is one of the most important players of the blucerchiati.

“We will not sell any of our stars in January”, Romei said.

“I think we will only make a few changes, nothing more. No big players will leave in the winter transfer window.”

The Belgian star also confirmed he is not considering a move away from the Marassi at the moment.
“I know Sampdoria received some offers for me but I did’t even talk with any other club as there was no agreement between them. I’ve never played in the Premier League but I’d be happy to go there one day. I am grateful to Sampdoria and I want to replay their trust scoring goals and making assists”, Praet said yesterday.
