Kolarov flattered by interest

(GSM) – Lazio defender Aleksandar Kolarov has admitted that he is flattered to be linked with the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid, while insisting that he has not received a ‘concrete’ approach.

The wanted full-back was reportedly requested by Internazionale’s Goran Pandev to move to the Giuseppe Meazza.

Liverpool are rumoured to be in the market for a left-back and the 24-year-old has been mentioned as a target, while Real are also thought to want to reinforce their defence.

The Serbia international is pleased to be attracting such interest, however, he maintains that he has not been in official contact with either of the European giants.

“I open the newspapers on a daily basis and find that different clubs are interested in me,” Kolarov told lalaziosiamonoi.it.

“The interest from Real Madrid, Liverpool and Inter cannot but flatter me. However, up until now there has never been anything concrete.”

Asked about the speculation regarding Pandev, Kolarov added: “No, it’s absolutely not true that he called me to ask that I move to Inter.

“We talk simply as two friends. We don’t just speak about football.”
