No Roma Move For Rossi - Agent

fount : goal.com



Reports in Italy claimed that the Giallorossi were keen on the prolific striker as Luciano Spalletti is desperate to bring in a new striker before the transfer market closes next month.

Roma had their eyes set on Adrian Mutu but with Fiorentina playing hardball over the whole affair, their attentions turned to Rossi who has been stunning in La Liga.

However, any hopes of signing him seem to have been dashed as the striker's agent insists no Roma move is on the horizon.

"Rossi is not on the market and there is absolutely no chance that he will return to Italy as Villarreal have stated that he is not for sale," Pastorello told RomaNews.

"Rossi wants to play in the Champions League with Villarreal and then who knows. We will see what happens next year."

The Giallorossi need to bring in a top-class hit-man sooner rather than later but the club's unwilingness to spend the cash might just scupper any plans for some much needed fire power up front.

Roma will be aiming for both the Scudetto and Champions League and thus a striker is needed to bolster their squad and boost their chances of success.
