Roberto Soriano insists he “is happy to be a Sampdoria player” after his deadline day Napoli move collapsed.
The deal had been agreed and contracts signed, but paperwork was not delivered in time to beat the transfer deadline.
The German-born creative midfielder had kept silent throughout the saga until now, when he spoke to Mediaset Premium Sport.
“The fans are happy I stayed? So am I, just like them. I always was and still am a Sampdoria player.

“The fans are happy I stayed? So am I, just like them. I always was and still am a Sampdoria player.
“Have I got any plans for January? I repeat, I am happy at Sampdoria and have been here for six years. I don’t even think about the rest.
“It’s true there were negotiations, but it’s water under the bridge. Now I just have to concentrate on our games and do my best.
“I was happy to see everyone again, as the group is our strength. Bologna are organised, but we’re playing at Marassi on Sunday and will do everything to win.
“I am convinced this team is strong, but we have to confirm the good work from last season.”
