Roma winger Juan Iturbe insists he does not want to quit the Giallorossi this summer, despite increasing speculation he is a wanted man.
The Giallorossi splashed out €22m to sign Iturbe from Hellas Verona last season, beating off interest from a whole host of clubs including Liverpool, Barcelona and Juventus.
However, life at the Stadio Olimpico has not been smooth sailing for Iturbe, who has struggled to hit the heights he experienced in Serie A last term.
His agent has suggested that two English clubs are ready to pay Roma the money they spent to sign Iturbe last summer, but the player himself now claims he wants to stay.
"The future? I just got here and I want to stay", he told Sky Italia.

And Iturbe believes that opponents give Roma less space to play than Hellas Verona, something which explains why he has found life difficult in the Italian capital.
"The difference from when I was at Verona is that there I had more room to play. But against Roma teams close us down more."
The speedy winger has made 29 appearances in all competitions for Roma this season, scoring just three goals and providing his team-mates with three assists.
