Mario Rui: 'We chose Roma'

By Football Italia staff

Mario Rui’s agent assures “we are in full agreement” with Roma, as are Empoli, despite talk of Swansea City and Valencia bids.

The move was expected to have gone through by now, on loan with an option to buy, but the delays prompted rumours of trouble.

Today Sky Sport Italia suggested Swansea and Valencia had dived in with more lucrative terms for both player and club.

“Empoli reached an agreement with Roma and we are in full agreement with the Giallorossi,” agent Mario Giuffredi told TMW.

“There is nothing more to add, the rest is of no interest to us.

“We chose Roma and have an agreement with the Giallorossi. That is the only thing that counts.”
