The winger, who took part in Euro 2008 for Sweden, has left West Ham via mutual consent to become a free agent. He still had 3 years left on his contract, but the player and club decided to go their separate ways.
"I gave the best of myself at West Ham and I enjoyed it, but the decision is best for both sides," said Ljungberg, who spent nine years at Arsenal, but managed just one at West Ham. The midfielder's season was constantly disrupted by injuries and he only took part in 22 games for West Ham, who finished 10th in the Premier League last season.
Roma are thought to be seeking two wide players and may wish to act on the news as they continue their search to replace Amantino Mancini (now at Inter) and Ludovic Giuly (now at PSG), especially as they have done little to reinforce the squad so far in the transfer market.
Ljungberg would certainly fit Roma's style of play and system, as well as be closer in line with Roma's financial resources than some of the other names that have been associated with the club lately. Roma, who finished just three points behind Inter last season, have been trying to make deals for Chelsea's Florent Malouda and Real Madrid's Julio Baptista but neither player seems any closer to joining the capitol club. They also had a substantial bid for Romanian star Adrian Mutu turned down by Fiorentina in advanced stages of negotiations. Roma would only have to worry about negotiating salary as Ljungberg is available on a free transfer.
31-year-old Ljungberg would likely be looking for a new challenge and could find the prospect of joining an attacking side like Roma very interesting as he nears the end of his playing career.
