AS Roma dismisses talks of ridiculous demands

Gervinho has rubbished reports claiming he asked UAE side Al Jazira for a helicopter, a private island, a family home and unlimited tickets to and from Ivory Coast.

Stunning reports emerged yesterday about the winger’s wage demands to join the UAE side, but today, both Gervinho and the club have confirmed that the online reports are nonsense.

Roma and Al Jazira had agreed to a ÂŁ10million deal and the UAE side were willing to meet Gervinho’s ÂŁ85k-a-week wage demands, but it was reported that they cancelled the deal after the ludicrous demands from the winger.

However, when asked about the reports, Gervinho rubbished them claiming he never asked for such luxuries.

He said: “I read of helicopters, private beaches and plane tickets.

“I have no idea where that information comes from, but I have never demanded such things.

“When I sign a contract I don’t care about those things: everything that has been said about me is false.”

Al Jazira also defender the Roma star by saying the move broken down due to other issues.

An Al-Jazira source said: “We confirm that we stopped negotiating with Gervinho but this was purely because of technical details and not because of the player’s demands, as reported by some online sources.”

Gervinho will now reunite with his Roma team-mates for pre-season, but he is expected to leave the Serie A club eventually over the summer.
