Buenos Aires, Jan 28 (NA) -- Colombian defender Jhohan Romaña confirmed he will continue at San Lorenzo and ruled out a departure in this transfer window, despite concrete interest from River Plate and feelers from abroad. The 27-year-old defender stated his situation is clear and he will remain at the club, according to Argentine News Agency, after several days of conflicting reports and a strong clash with management. "I'm fine now, but you know what I had to go through these days. I stayed and I want to keep fighting," Romaña said. Romaña was tracked by teams from Brazil and the United States and received two formal offers from River in the last market, the last being $2,500,000 for 50% of his pass, which was rejected by San Lorenzo. With 85 matches and one goal for the club, the Colombian closed with a firm message: "I have codes, I am a man of my word and I am here giving it my all." "I never wanted to leave San Lorenzo and many things were said that affected my family," the defender expressed in an interview with TyC Sports, where he ratified his decision to stay with the "Cyclone." Romaña had already announced his continuity before the 1-0 win over Gimnasia de Mendoza, although after the match he referred to the internal conflict generated by his contractual situation. "They had to speak ill of me to look good with others," the player had said, a phrase that led to a tough response from councilor Ulises Morales, who fired: "He is a bad guy, he makes a circus on the field." In this context, the defender made it clear that he never forced his way out of the club, despite having received significant offers. "I had very big offers that would have changed my life and my family's."
