Agent confident Liverpool target Perin will stay with Genoa

The agent of Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin says he's happy where he is.

The youngster has been linked with Liverpool this week.

"Mattia has always worked to a high level and I think that you can spot a champion when he shows that he can deliver consistently," Matteo Roggi has told Calciomercato.it.

"Gigi is a monument of Italian football and he might be able to play for 10 more years and still remain the best, while Mattia is still a young 'keeper who has to complete his growth process.

"I don't like comparisons because I think that every football player is unique.

"Perin just loves to learn and the more time he spends with Buffon in the national team, the stronger he can become.

"Just like what is happening between [Marco] Verratti and [Andrea] Pirlo, as the former steals secrets from the latter during training sessions with Italy."
