Christian Panucci's agent has claimed the Roma defender has turned down the chance to move to Hull.
Media reports on Sunday claimed the Tigers had started talks in an attempt to sign the veteran Italian before the close of the transfer window.
Panucci had been looking to leave Roma following a recent bust-up with coach Luciano Spalletti when he was sent to the stands after being named as a substitute against Napoli.
However, the 35-year-old's agent Oscar Damiani expects the versatile stopper to stay at Roma due to the lack of time to finalise a transfer.
Damiani also suggested that the offer from the Tigers was not good enough to tempt Panucci into a move to the KC Stadium.
"I really think Christian will remain at Roma and respect his contract," Damiani told LaRoma24.it.
"We have been unable to resolve the situation, which isn't entirely surprising as we had very few days at our disposal.
"We have not reached any agreement. The proposals we received were not considered valid for the player."

Story goes that Hull would NOT play along with his Dental Plan? i.e. He would have to finance his own dentures in future! That and his addiction to Philosan was looking good!
I found a hot place, you guys should try it ___ Meet Wealthy co m_____a great place for rich people to meet their soul mates....
the hull women are far hotter than the rome posuers
why wud anyone leave rome for hull this must be a wind up!
why the hell do they consider a move to hull to be a chance???
Just to clarify, he was not sent to the stands. He was named on the bench, but he refused to be "just a sub", and so took himself to the stands, refusing to play. He's a great player, who's given a great many years of service to Roma, but he's a bit of a hot-head. Incredible he's lasted this long in the capital...
