Spalletti: We Want Silva Or Malouda

fount : goal.com



The Giallorossi have had a hugely disappointing transfer campaign thus far, signing no big name players, and they are working feverishly to find a replacement for Amantino Mancini, who recently left the club for rivals Inter.

Roma have been heavily linked with Silva and Malouda over the past week or so, with both players’ futures at their respective clubs in doubt.

Some sections of the Italian press have claimed in recent days that negotiations are ongoing to sign one of these players, and this appears to have been confirmed by Spalletti.

"They're both great players,” said the Roma coach.

“It's clear that we'll have to see in negotiations who will become more accessible."

At present it appears that Malouda is the more likely player to end up in the Eternal City, as Valencia are said to have put a €22m price tag on Silva that Roma probably can’t match.

Silva’s agent Julio Llorente also claimed yesterday that there had been no contact with Roma with regards to his client, but what is for certain is that the Giallorossi desperately need to sign an offensive player this summer.
