Podolski Loves Roma & Italy - Agent

fount : goal.com



Roma are well known to be in the market for a new attacker, following the exit of Amantino Mancini to Inter. The club’s primary target had been Adrian Mutu, but after a deal appeared to be on the cards, Fiorentina pulled the plug at the last moment.

The Giallorossi have been linked with a whole host of other attackers, including Julio Baptista and Djibril Cisse, but both it seems will not be arriving at the Stadio Olimpico.

Another player whose name has been associated this summer is Bayern Munich’s Lukas Podoslki. The 23-year-old’s future at the Allianz Arena has been called into question recently, with the press consistently claiming that a summer transfer could be on the cards.

The forward joined Bayern from Cologne in 2006, however things have not really worked out for him in Bavaria, and he spent most of last season in the shadows of Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose.

However, a superb Euro 2008 with Germany has reminded everyone of his ability, and a number of Italian clubs, including Roma and Juventus, have been linked with making a move for him.

"At the moment we don't want to comment on the situation of Lukas Podolski,” the player's agent Kon Schramm told Laromasiamonoi.it after being asked about the possibility of a transfer to Roma.

“But we especially like Italy and Rome. Obviously as a city (laughing)."

Podolski was in fine form for Bayern today as he bagged a hat-trick in a 4-2 friendly win over Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds.
