The Giallorossi have been desperately searching for an attacker all summer, following the sale of Amantino Mancini to Inter.
Roma’s primary target had been Adrian Mutu, and the 29-year-old had appeared certain to join until Fiorentina pulled the plug on the deal at the last moment.
The capital outfit have also been linked with a number of attackers including Real Madrid’s Julio Baptista. Earlier in the week ‘The Beast’ claimed that he wanted to stay at Madrid and fight for his place, however reports suggest that he could join Roma on-loan, if the Spanish champions complete the capture of Hamburg star Rafael van der Vaart.
Meanwhile, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti is reported, by Il Messagero, to have vetoed the release of young teenage striker Stefano Chuka Okaka.
The 18-year-old had agreed to spend the 2008/09 campaign on loan at newly promoted Bologna, but Spalletti is refusing to let him go until a replacement attacker is found.
This replacement could be Baptista, although La Repubblica is also claiming this morning that Roma are eyeing up Manchester City’s attacking playmaker Elano Blumer.
