The Giallorossi are well known to be in the market for a top class forward, and have money to spend following the €13m sale of Amantino Mancini to Inter last week.
The primary target remains Fiorentina’s Adrian Mutu, but despite the Romanian’s apparent willingness to join, it nevertheless remains a difficult task to sign the player.
A more realistic option is Real Madrid’s Julio Baptista, and Marca claims that Roma are ready to table a €15m bid for the player nicknamed ‘The Beast’.
The Brazilian seems almost certain to leave the Spanish champions this summer following a frustrating 2007/08 season. The 26-year-old spent large chunks of the campaign on the bench, and indeed failed to start a Liga match after March.
Baptista is said to be desperate to join Roma, and for this very reason he rejective a lucrative offer to join Turkish outfit Galatasaray last week.
The forward has won 41 caps for the Brazil national team, scoring 10 goals.
