A new chapter was written on Tuesday in Montreal's pursuit of a first DP as targeted Italian international Marco Di Vaio publicly turned down the Impact's offer.
"I do not want to leave. I am doing great in Bologna and I want to see my kids grow in Italy", Di Vaio told Corriere di Bologna's reporter Francesca Blesio.
According to the article posted Tuesday on the Italian paper's website, Major League Soccer's latest entry offered the 36-year-old striker 3 million euros for two seasons (close to $4 million).
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]"At that price I want to stay here (in Italy) close to my family," added Di Vaio. "(If) I was to go to Canada, it would not be for the money, but maybe for the experience."
The move was set to happen at the end of the Serie A season, so is this declaration so early the real indication of the Italian's intentions or simply another round in the negociation process?
Let's wait and see...
