There will be no January transfer for Marco Amelia after he signed a new Livorno contract until 2011.
The goalkeeper’s previous agreement was due to expire in June and the world champion had been recently associated with a move to Milan, who are actively searching for a new man between the sticks.
Amelia was also a reported target for Liverpool amongst other clubs, but Amaranto President Aldo Spinelli has rewarded the shot-stopper for his expert performances with a new and improved deal.
The agreement was penned on Tuesday night which has brought all of the transfer rumours surrounding him to a temporary stop.
The 24-year-old started his career in the Roma youth team and landed at Livorno in 2001 on a loan deal.
Spinelli’s club then bought the goalkeeper outright in 2004 after he became a key player for the Tuscan minnows.
Amelia is having another fine campaign and grabbed the headlines in November when he scored a dramatic late goal against Partizan Belgrade that kept Livorno’s UEFA Cup campaign alive.
