Roma want to replace Burdisso with Heitinga.They'll meet with the player's agent today-Di Marzio

At least its better than mid-table jobber Paletta I suppose.

Roma are also close to securing NTep for June.They are ready to pay 0.5m euros now plus another 3m in June.

Sabatini travelling to Barcelona for Sanabria.Roma would like to acquire him for 3m euros while Barca is looking for 12m(the exit clause would vary depending if you consider Sanabria a professional player with his games for Barcelona B).

Roma are also interested in Montoya considering he has an expiring contract.

All from Di Marzio.

Michel Bastos’ agent has indicated that Roma lead the way in talks to sign the player, whilst Napoli also remain interested.

The Brazilian winger was previously linked with a switch to Serie A during his time in Ligue 1, before ending a loan move at Schalke unsuccessfully and opting in the summer to sign for UAE outfit Al Ain.

However, just six months into that move, the 30-year-old is eyeing the peninsula once more and his agent has indicated something is imminent.

“I have spoken with the directors at Napoli, but the deal is not closed,” began Marta Fisher this week to calcionapoli24.it.

“The only negotiations at an advanced stage in Italy are with Roma, as Rudi Garcia was the Michel’s Coach at Lille. At this moment, the Giallorossi are the clear favourite.

“I have spoken with Napoli, as indeed with many teams around the world. The player wants to get away from the UAE, the assumption of a loan deal is possible.

“The only cases in Italy are with Roma and Napoli - Juventus are excluded.”

The Gazzetta dello Sport today suggest that negotiations between Napoli and Bastos are at an advanced stage and that he could be at the club by the weekend to undergo medical tests.

Not sure what to think of the Bastos link. He's a former Rudi disciple so it's only natural that we'd be front-runners for him. His ability to play LB is rather attractive though considering our options there at the moment, but I don't think he adds any real defensive solidity there like Maicon does on the right.

Essentially, he's an older, more developed and experienced Dodo.

Di Marzio wrote:Jorginho is very close to joining Napoli. The agents for the player are currently in Milano to settle the last details with Napoli’s executive director in the Filmauro’s legal offices. Jorginho on the other hand is in Verona waiting for the green light to leave. A little more patience is needed but Jorginho could be starting his new adventure. Benitez is waiting for him, Jorginho is ready.

Napoli getting a great talent on their hands.

Michel Bastos hasn't been a fullback for over 4 years now.  He last played fullback for Lyon in the 2009-2010 season... since then (and due to his massive defensive deficiencies), he's been played as a winger.

I don't see any way he could return to fullback.  It would be a disaster for Roma.  I think he's the backup/rotation/replacement for Gervinho.

Nani apparently has chosen an Italian agent now (Federico Pastorello).

He separated from Mendes.

Inter Milan interested in Osvaldo and Hernanes, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Liverpool enquire for Lyon midfielder Mvuemba, according to his representative.

Monaco reach agreement with Braga to sign Elderson, according to O Jogo,

Manchester United, Valencia and Zenit interested in Garay, according to A Bola.

Rennes thinking of making a bid for Sporting Lisbon winger Carrillo, according to A Bola.

Auxerre striker Ntep close to joining QPR, according to L'Equipe.

Roma still interested in Heitinga, according to Sky Italia.

Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola wants to sign a new centre back and Pique is one of the names the shortlist, according to Bild.

Sevilla's sporting director, Monchi, has said that they've not received any "concrete" offers for Alberto Moreno.

Di Marzio wrote:A negotiation that could take off, intrigue important axis between England and Italy. Vucinic Arsenal, opens the scenario. This morning there was a first contact between the man of confidence from Wenger, Low, and the player's agent, Alessandro Lucci. The first offer is a loan from Arsenal, the entourage of Montenegrin said no. The parties will meet again on Monday, the deal could take off only when you begin to negotiate on the basis of a permanent transfer. Arsenal want  Mirko Vucinic, the market goes live.

Either a permanent transfer or Arsenal can GTFO kindly.

According Sky we are "challenging" Lazio to take Djordjevic (Nantes)
Descriptions about this player , sportsczy?
Is he a scrub?

Djordjevic is average. He's 26 and been in Ligue 2 since 2008-2009 until this year (all with Nantes). This year, he has 8 goals in 20 starts in L1.

Tall guy, not very mobile. He's a targetman.

He's free this summer and probably can be had extremely cheap now... i think that's the upside lol.

Vucinic? Wenger please...

Won't be bad on loan.

Yeah ,but we're not giving him on loan in any circumstances.Either an outright sale or he stays here.

According to Stan Collymore Manchester United may bid for Southampton's Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw in this transfer window.

Tello happy at Barcelona:

"I'm happy here. I'm not playing as much as I did last year, but I'm not giving up"

Bayern Munich could make an offer for Thiago Silva in the summer, according to Bild.

Bad move Bayern

PSG will get mad and buy Germany in retaliation.


Mirko will not be loaned out, there is literally no upside for us loaning out Vucinic.

He comes back 6 months/1 year older, we have no money to show for it and we weaken our bench.

Would be stupid.
