Sunderland look set to miss out on the signing of Hector Moreno after the AZ Alkmaar defender claimed he did not want to play in England.

The 22-year-old Mexico international has revealed that, after returning from South Africa where he featured in two of his country's four World Cup matches, he would prefer to move to Paris St Germain.

"Nobody has approached to me in an official way yet, but I must admit that I would like to change to another team next season," he said.

"I don't know anything yet if there is a chance of being transferred, I haven't spoken with my agent, but I am calm.

"I know that the French press has been talking about me, but I don't know anything about if there is a negotiation.

"I have been told about Sunderland and other teams, but I am not very interested in playing in England, most of all because of the way of living they have. But Paris is Paris, that motivates me. But I am still in contract at AZ and I am happy there.

"Now I want to enjoy my family and recharge my batteries because the beginning of a new season is very near."
