Palermo's Bresciano turns down Saudi offer

Palermo midfielder Mark Bresciano has turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab.

The Australia international said he was keen to see out his contract with the Sicilian club and stated that there was no real reason to leave.

"I'm thinking why should I leave when I'm good, I enjoy playing?" he said. "I have no reason to go. I hope to continue with this adventure.

"I still have one year of the contract and then I will have another season here and we hope extend it as well. We both need to find agreement, the club and I. At the moment it is not important."
