Yepes targets Chievo stay

Colombian defender Mario Yepes has admitted that he would prefer to remain at Chievo this summer.

The 34-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Spanish side Espanyol.

“I have already talked to the club, who know full well what my demands are,” Yepes told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.

“Now it’s up to them to decide. In any case, we will discuss it again after we have secured survival.

“Chievo are my priority, but if it’s not possible to continue here, I’d still love to remain in Italy.”

Yepes joined Chievo in the summer of 2008.
