Aston Villa not bidding for Sebastien Frey says agent
Saturday 19th June 2010, 11:29AM BST.
Aston Villa have not made an approach for Fiorentina’s Sebastien Frey, according to the goalkeeper’s representative.
The French stopper, 30, was this week linked with a move to Villa with reports claiming the claret and blues are on the lookout for a long-term replacement for veteran keeper Brad Friedel.
However, Frey’s representative Giovanni Branchini has dismissed suggestions of a move to B6.
He said: “It is usually media speculation.
“Someone invents something and it is reported somewhere else, almost becoming truth.
“Neither Fiorentina nor I have been contacted by Aston Villa. Sebastian has repeatedly stated that he is happy with Fiorentina. In every marriage there is some discussion, then there is clarification and you go along.”
Meanwhile, James Milner failed to get on the field for England last night despite the 0-0 draw with Algeria.
The midfielder started the opening Group C game last weekend against the USA but was hauled off in the first half.
