Newcastle Transfer News: Fabricio Coloccini Wants To QUIT Toon And Return To Argentina

Update: Fabricio Coloccini's agent has informed Sky that San Lorenzo are not in talks to re-sign the Newcastle United captain. Marcelo Lombilla has been quick to deny the reports, telling Radio 9;

"The San Lorenzo thing arises because of a personal matter, and because his father is at the club," "He has only just renewed his contract six-months ago," "These stories always generate a buzz and generate illusions, but they are just that illusions and nothing more. "These things written I just cannot believe."

Original story follows... Newcastle United captain Fabricio Coloccini reportedly wants to quit St James' Park and join Buenos Aires-based San Lorenz, a club he once played for in a loan spell whilst on AC Milan's books, according to unconfirmed comments from the player's father. Osvaldo Coloccini, who is the youth team director at the Argentinean side, reportedly told an Argentine TV Station:

"Fabricio wants to play for San Lorenzo and he is trying his best to find an elegant way to leave Newcastle. We don't know what Newcastle will come up with, but Fabricio is trying to rescind his contract because he wants to be back at San Lorenzo. "His contract is very good and that could complicate things in an attempt for him to leave Newcastle."

Coloccini has a contract with Newcastle United that he only just renewed last year and that runs until 2016 and is the club's highest earner, but this is not the first time that the defender has been linked with a move to San Lorenz. Reports first surfaced in English tabloids earlier last month that the player wanted to leave, along with quotes from the club president to a local radio station:

"We know he is a fan and wants to return, so there could be a possibility. It's not impossible, but of course the only thing that can accelerate the situation is Fabricio's intentions."
