With Mutu’s future likely to be at La Viola for the time being, Roma are set to look elsewhere for a much required front-man. The Giallorossi are determined to land a striker in this transfer window, with the side light on cover up front.
Juio Baptista of Real Madrid has caught the attentions of Spalletti and was rumoured to be on the verge of a transfer to the Stadio Olimpico. However, the Roma manager sees the Brazilian primarily as a midfielder, rather than a forward.
Instead, it could be Klaas-Jan Huntelaar who makes the move to the Serie A runners-up, with Spalletti coy on his transfer plans.
He admitted defeat in the battle for Mutu, but insisted that Roma still have other irons in the fire.
He told Tuttomercatoweb: “I think the Mutu negotiations are over. The club can’t be blamed if he doesn’t come but it does look like we will have to look elsewhere. But we will stay calm and consider things carefully. We are looking for two players because the squad isn’t complete as it is.
“I haven’t even spoken about Julio Baptista. He is a good player but we are fine in midfield. Huntelaar is a very good player but we will have to see and there will be no panic buys.”
