Roma defender will not join Sao Paulo

Cicinho has long been linked with a move away from Roma, but his agent says the defender is now keen to prove his worth at the Italian side.

“Cicinho is fine and ready for the coach. He is a good player who wants to show all the work he has been doing,” the agent, Riccardo Sarti, told Romanews.eu.

“He has a great relationship with Ranieri and they are always talking. Cicinho is ready to play.”

“He is waiting for the coach’s decisions. He plays for a big club where there are great players. He has to work hard and make sure he is always ready,” continued the agent.

“Sao Paulo? No. This story is finished. We don’t want to hear the words Sao Paulo anymore,” he added.
