The agent of Stefano Okaka has denied reports of a blow-up at Sampdoria.

The striker was sent home from training yesterday after an incident with club officials.

"Nothing out of the ordinary happened, things have just been overstated because it's a mercato period and Sampdoria are under the spotlight," said agent Andrea Cattoli to Rai.

"There are so many loose rumours, but Stefano never asked to be sold, nor for a salary raise, and he did not turn down a renewal of his contract.

"We have an agreement with Samp to defer all of this until June, when we can draw some conclusions.

"I don't know who spreads these rumours, perhaps their purpose is to undermine the player in the eyes of the tifosi.

"Milan? We're only thinking about Sampdoria and the next game, even though in the market things can happen from one day to the next."
