Stefano Okaka's agent says reports of the row with Sampdoria have been ‘overstated’, and declares that the striker is not thinking about Milan.

The Roma youth product was sent home from training today following an incident with Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic and sporting director Carlo Osti.

The rift reignited mercato speculation about a transfer to Milan, but the poacher’s agent Andrea Cattoli played down the whole disagreement.

“Nothing out of the ordinary happened, things have just been overstated because it's a mercato period and Sampdoria are under the spotlight,” said the agent to Rai this evening.

“There are so many loose rumours, but Stefano never asked to be sold, nor for a salary raise, and he did not turn down a renewal of his contract.

“We have an agreement with Samp to defer all of this until June, when we can draw some conclusions.

“I don't know who spreads these rumours, perhaps their purpose is to undermine the player in the eyes of the tifosi.

“Milan? We're only thinking about Sampdoria and the next game, even though in the market things can happen from one day to the next.”
