Father admits Coloccini eyeing an Argentina return

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 03: Newcastle player Fabricio Coloccini in action during the Barclays Premier League match between Newcastle United and Wigan Athletic at St James’ Park on December 3, 2012 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Father of Newcastle United captain Fabricio Coloccini has admitted that his son would love to come back to San Lorenzo but that the deal currently offered by Newcastle is very good and that might be a stumbling block in his returning to his native land Argentina.

“Fabricio wants to play for San Lorenzo and he is trying his best to find an elegant way to leave Newcastle,” Coloccini’s father toldIndirecto on TyC Sports. “We don’t know what Newcastle will come up with, but Fabricio is trying to rescind his contract because he wants to be back at San Lorenzo. His contract is very good and that could complicate things in an attempt for him to leave Newcastle.”

Coloccini recently had a fall-out with manager Alan Pardew which has fueled rumors of his exit from the club, but Pardew denies any of it is true, “I just said to him before we walked out on the pitch – ‘look, we are both winners, we are allowed to fall out’,” he said. “We fell out last week and we’re entitled to do that, as the captain and the manager. It was just a silly little thing and I know he was determined to get the result on Saturday.”

Newcastle are currently 15th in the league.
