Palombo happy to stay

Angelo Palombo was linked with several clubs, including Fiorentina, before agreeing an extension to his contract that now expires in 2013.

The Italian international midfielder is pleased to continue playing at the Marassi. “We were pulling from both sides and in the end we reached an agreement. I am delighted about it,” he said.

He will retain the captain’s armband for next season.
