Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini has turned down interest from Italian clubs in order to stay at St Mary’s, according to the player’s agent.
As reported by the Mirror, Silvio Pagliari confirmed interest from Serie A sides, with Lazio among the clubs linked with a move for the striker.
A few requests from Italian clubs came but he feels at the top in the Premier League, also for how football is lived. It’s another world.
The Italian forward fell out of favour under Mark Hughes during the second half of last season.
Despite being a popular figure at the club, he found game time hard to come by, but he did go on to score the all-important goal that would keep the club in the top flight, with his last-gasp effort against Swansea.
There had been some suggestions that the striker would push for a move back to his home country, citing homesick as the reason behind his unhappiness in the Premier League, but that no longer appear to be the case.
