Baptista Wants Roma Move - Agent

The Giallorossi are well known to be in the market for a top class forward, and have been linked heavily in recent weeks to Baptista, who is almost certain to leave Real Madrid after spending large chunks of last season on the bench.

Earlier this week, Roma were tipped by the Spanish press to make a €15m bid for ‘The Beast’, and the player’s agent has admitted that a move is possible.

“At the moment he doesn’t want to talk about things, but I can assure you that he really likes Roma and it would be a very pleasing destination,” Herminio Menedez stated.

“They are an important club and they have played at the highest level in the Champions League over the last few years.

“Furthermore it would be a pleasure for Baptista to play alongside so many fellow Brazilians and top-class players like Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi.”

The Italian press claims that Roma’s preferred signing is Fiorentina’s Adrian Mutu, but with a move for the Romanian unlikely, it now seems they will go all out for the 26-year-old Baptista.

The forward has won 41 caps for the Brazil national team, scoring 10 goals.
