Striker focused on Roma after joining permanently

Italian striker Fabio Borini says moving to Liverpool was never in his thoughts after signing a permanent deal at Roma. The frontman joined the Giallorossi over the weekend after the capital club bought the remaining 50 per cent of the player from Serie A rivals Parma. He had spent last season on loan at the Stadio Olimpico, scoring nine goals in 24 league appearances. Speculation had linked the 21-year-old with Liverpool and a reunion with former boss Brendan Rodgers, who he worked under while on loan at Swansea from Chelsea. But Borini, currently part of the Italian squad at Euro 2012, says he was only ever focused on staying at Roma and was not distracted by talk of an Anfield move. He told The Sun: "I am a Roma player. "It's not my business that there is talk about whether I go to Liverpool or stay. It doesn't matter to me, I am Roma."
