Ternana coach Benito Carbone has spoken about of his joy at being able to retain the services of his star forward Felipe Avenatti. With all the turmoil at the Serie B side this summer the Uruguayan looked to be on his way out, with claims Leeds United had made an approach.
“Let’s say they were our big purchases. We have done everything possible to retain them, and we succeeded. Avenatti is a great striker, while Falletti has great personality and charisma. He’s already a leader in the group,” said Carbone.
Leeds United have been linked with Avenatti for the past 12 months, and during the last window there have been claims in Italy the Championship side have approached Ternana with regards to the South American.
It was also reported Serie A sides were also monitoring the player, and until he renews his contract with Ternana speculation is unlikely to go away with regards to him leaving the Umbrian side.
