The agent of Liverpool striker Fabio Borini has confirmed that his client wanted to stay at Roma this summer.
The 21-year-old joined Liverpool from Roma this summer but had wanted to remain in Serie A, according to Marco De Marchi.
"Fabio's season at Liverpool is in the growing phase. The team's results are still to come and they will come, because Liverpool have a great coach," De Marchi told Radio Incontro.
"Borini's move to Liverpool happened very quickly, he wanted to stay at AS Roma and he had also bought a house there. But the club decided to sell him to Liverpool and for him it was a very pleasant destination."
Borini has scored one goal for Liverpool this season.
