Newcastle United’s bid to sign Sheffield Wednesday rebel Fernando Forestieri has taken a huge step back after the star stated on his social media that he wants to stay in Yorkshire.
The Italian playmaker has long since been linked with a move to St James’ Park and the former Watford man didn’t travel with his Sheffield Wednesday team-mates as they drew a blank against Norwich City this weekend.
But Forestieri, who has scored fifteen goals since joining the club last summer, has distanced himself with a move away from Hillsborough this summer after facing a backlash online.
“There are a lot of rumours and opinions going around which have been blown out of proportion and are upsetting,” he said.
“I just want to clarify, I have never wanted to leave and have always and still do want to play for Sheffield Wednesday. I apologise for my behaviour and know there is no excuse. I hope we can move on so I can focus on my passion,” he added.
But with some Owls’ supporters seething with Forestieri’s apparent lack of committal to the Wednesday cause, they could find it difficult to forgive their once star man going forward.
