Samaras wants to stay
After the World Cup Georgios Samaras will be coming back to Parkhead Georgios Samaras' lawyer has confirmed that he is not planning to move from Celtic and will see out the remainder of his contract. Speculation has been rife since the end of the domestic season over the Greece international's future with Serie A outfit Palermo declaring their interest in the 25-year-old. Dr Gregory Ioannidis, Legal Counsel to Samaras, wants to put an end to the rumours by insisting his client is going nowhere. Samaras is concentrating on preparing for his part in the Greek squad for the World Cup finals in South Africa and has no thoughts of leaving Celtic this summer for pastures new, with one year remaining on his contract. Dr Ioannidis issued a statement which said: "We would like to dismiss all recent publications and/or rumours that Mr Samaras wishes to leave Celtic FC. On the contrary, we would like to state unequivocally that Mr Samaras will see out his remaining year at Celtic until and when Celtic tell him otherwise. This is the time of the year where numerous reports claim things that do not reflect reality. Mr Samaras is preparing for and focusing on the World Cup and there are no other discussions with other clubs. We are instructed to see that these reports are put to a stop and we would seek to establish all the evidence and where appropriate seek remedies."
