Emiliano Viviano has denied reports that have suggested Inter brought him in for a trial due to Daniele Padelli’s mistakes.
Padelli was forced to stand in for current Inter number one goalkeeper Samir Handanovic when he sustained a hairline fracture to the small finger in his left hand and due to uncertainty over when he would return, Inter brought in Viviano for a trial.
In the end it turned out Handanovic would not be out as long as initially expected and Viviano, who had already underwent and passed a medical with the club, was told he would not be getting a deal with the club.
“Reports said that I had gone to Inter due to Padelli’s mistakes, when in reality it was absolutely not true. I had already spoken with the club and I would have had to go to train there anyway, because they thought that the injury of Handanovic was more serious than expected,” the 34-year-old shot-stopper explained in an interview withsampnews24.com.
Viviano, who has formerly played for seven Serie A clubs as well as Premier League side Arsenal, was last at Portuguese powerhouses Sporting but never played a game for them before leaving them near the end of last year.
