Fabricio Coloccini refuses to shed light on Newcastle United future

Fabricio Coloccini has insisted that he is not thinking about a possible move away from Newcastle United in the summer.

The central defender has been repeatedly linked with other clubs over the past 18 months, but a transfer has failed to materialise, despite suggestions that he is keen to return to Argentina to be closer to family.

"I think we have to think about the seven games, and then start to think about other things," Coloccini told the Shields Gazette.

"But I have a contract here for a long time, and that is all I can say.

"We have to improve for next season and take as many points as possible."

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew recently revealed that he is "not worried" about Coloccini's situation.
