| Amelia flattered by interest | Monday 14 May, 2007 |
| Livorno goalkeeper Marco Amelia has admitted that he is pleased to hear about Juventus and Lazio’s interest in his services.
The Amaranto is set to become one of the most sought after players in the summer transfer window and recently stated that he would welcome a move to a bigger club.
“I read about Juve’s interest in the papers, I have to admit that I am pleased to know that they like me,” Amelia told Teleradiostereo.
“It would be very satisfying to play for them, they are a prestigious club and every player would love to join them,” added the world champion.
“In any case, I still have to decide what to do in the future. I know that there are some foreign clubs who are interested in me as well, but I would prefer to stay in Italy.
“Lazio? It would be an excellent opportunity for my career, even if I played for many years with Roma,” he explained.
“I wasn’t happy when I left the club, but I am not looking for revenge. I am a professional and when it comes to this sort of thing I try to behave like Peruzzi.”
The No 1 had reportedly been ruled out for the rest of the season because of a knee injury, but has recovered faster than expected and might be back on the pitch as early as Sunday.
“I am ready, maybe I will play as soon as the game against Torino. In any case I will be back before the end of the season,” he confirmed.
“I am training and working hard, I want to do all I can to help Livorno stay in Serie A.”
Amelia, who was originally linked with a move in January, believes that Roma’s Gianluca Curci would be his ideal successor between the Amaranto posts.
“I told Curci that he should come here, I had already said so when I was close to moving to Russia,” explained the shot-stopper, who was a target for Spartak Moscow.
“A young and talented goalkeeper who does not have the chance to shine should move to another club, in order to mature and gain experience. I speak to Gianluca often, he knows what I think he should do,” concluded Amelia.
