Miguel Veloso Quashes Links With Manchester City, Bolton
The Portuguese international insists he is not planning to leave Sporting Lisbon...
Speculation in the press recently linked Sporting Lisbon midfielder with Premier League clubs Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers.
However, the 22-year-old Portugal international, who has won seven caps since 2007, has moved quickly to dismiss the reports as nonsense.
"This news is unfortunate, because this is not true," Veloso told Sporting's official website.
"I have always been happy to serve the club. The fact is that what is written is not true, which makes me very sad because I started at Sporting.
"It was Sporting who created me and I just have to thank them for everything they have done for me.
"I believe it is an attempt at destabilisation, but both myself and the team are immune to this type of situation. We are only focused on the achievement of our objectives.
"I am happy at the Alvalade and I will continue to work to help the team achieve what we want. I am committed."
