Roma striker Mido has turned down a move to Blackburn Rovers, according to reports in Italy.
The English side reportedly had a 3m bid accepted by Roma for the Egyptian international, who spent a successful 18-month loan spell at Premiership rivals Tottenham. However, negotiations have been halted with the player determined to play next season at Roma.
"I am not interested in Blackburn," said Mido. "I want to remain at Roma and prove that I can help this team achieve success."
