Town boss Roy Keane says the club are yet to begin talks with full-back Liam Rosenior regarding a permanent deal with the Blues. The 25-year-old is on loan from Reading until the end of the season with his Royals contract up in the summer.
Keane said: "We’ll have a look at it over the next month or two. It’s still January, there’s still a long way to go in the season.
"I know the media is interested in certain players regarding their contract situations. Let Liam focus on his game and the contract situation will take care of itself. You don’t need to remind me, I’m well aware of it.”
Rosenior has previously said he is enjoying his football at Town, while Keane has praised the former Fulham man’s impact since he joined the club in August.
Elsewhere, former Town loanee Giovani Dos Santos’s loan move from Tottenham to Galatasaray is reportedly close to being finalised. Town boss Roy Keane recently ruled out the Mexican international returning to Portman Road.
Meanwhile, ex-Blues defender Drissa Diallo has announced his retirement from football at the age of 37. The Guinea international has been with Cheltenham for the last 16 months, having had spells at Sheffield Wednesday and the MK Dons since leaving Portman Road in 2005 after a two-year spell.
Diallo says he is returning to France, where he was brought up: "I've been thinking about what I'm going to do after football for a few years and now maybe the time is right to do something else.
"It's been a long journey for me because I first left home to play professionally in 1992 and I have been very lucky to play for as long as I have.
"I am going back to France next month and I will be very busy with starting a new business and renovating my house so will not have much time for football. But I would like to stay involved in football and maybe I will play part-time next season in France."
