Luiz Adriano: 'I wanted Roma move'

Luiz Adriano reveals his frustration of the collapse of his move to Roma from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Shakhtar Donetsk striker Luiz Adriano has revealed that he was eager to secure a move to Roma in the recent transfer window.

The Brazilian was rumoured to be the Serie A club's top target, but a rejected bid in the region of £10m forced them to sign Seydou Doumbia and Victor Ibarbo.

"We know that the two clubs failed to reach an agreement and that's why I stayed here," Adriano told Sky Sport Italia.

"Roma are a team that play good football. They played in the Champions League this season and are still fighting to win the Scudetto.

"We're talking about a club with a great history. It certainly would have pleased me to have been able to wear the Giallorossi shirt. It would also have been a great chance to play in a different part of Europe."

Adriano has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season.
