Baptista is certain to leave Real Madrid this summer as he is not in coach Bernd Schuster’s first team plans. Over the past week or so, there have been almost constant reports over a proposed transfer of the 26-year-old to Roma, and the Italian and Spanish press have claimed that a deal will almost certainly go through very soon.
However, Baptista’s agent, Herminio Menendez, has now sensationally claimed that, despite all these reports, Roma have made no contact with anyone about buying ‘The Beast’.
"Roma have not spoken with me and I must say that there is a lot of confusion in this situation,” Herminio Menendez told Laromasiamonoi.it.
“If Roma do not meet with Real Madrid or with me, it is impossible to start negotiations. Throughout the week there has been talk about Baptista going to Roma.
“Currently, Julio is a Real Madrid player but, I repeat, no one has spoken with me or with Real.
“In Italy it is said that the two parties are very close. Even the [Spanish] daily Marca said that everything is done.
“However, this is not true. No one, not even Roma sporting director [Daniele] Prade, has spoken with me. Frankly I do not understand the situation."
Baptista joined Madrid in 2005 from Sevilla, although he did spend the 2006/07 season on loan at English giants Arsenal.
