No go for Rosicky
by Vasek Kadlec - created on 16 Aug 2005
Borussia Dortmund have moved to quell talk that has suggested Tomas Rosicky is on his way out of the club.
The talented Czech Republic midfielder has been the subject of speculation over the past couple of seasons - with Liverpool once credited as being leading suitors.
Rosicky would likely command a fee in the region of €10 to €15 million and it is believed Lyon and Atletico Madrid are both mulling over the possibility of lodging a bid.
However, whilst the player remains in demand, Dortmund managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke has now stated the Bundesliga club´s desire to keep their playmaker.
´´Rosicky will play this season at Dortmund,´´ said Watzke. ´´Of course there exists a financial limit but I think it is too high.
´´So high, even we can´t quite realise how high.´´
Meanwhile, another Czech international, Jan Koller, also looks set to extend his stay by penning a new contract at the Westfalen Stadion.
´´I have offered Jan an offer,´´ explained Dortmund director Michael Zorc to Ruhr Nachrichten.
´´He can decide if he wants to extend for a year or for two years.
