Celtic’s Greek striker insists he will not be talking to interested parties until after the World Cup, but admitted: “I’m delighted that Palermo are interested in me.
“Of course I would be happy to play for such a club. I saw that they just missed out on qualifying for the Champions League this season. That’s a pity, but, who knows, maybe next year it will happen.”
Samaras added: “I would be very sorry to leave Celtic. I’ve enjoyed my time with the club so much and I feel valued and appreciated there. But these things happen in football.
“If I leave Scotland, it would not be a drama because Italy is a beautiful country.
“I haven’t heard from my agent for several days so I do not know if there have already been contact between Celtic and Palermo. My lawyer told me of Palermo’s interest, that’s all I know.
“But at this moment, I’m not thinking about anything but the World Cup. I am 100% focused on the target of helping Greece in South Africa.”
