Following a temporary lull in proceedings when it appeared that Mutu was set to sign a new contract at Fiorentina, the Italian press has resumed its almost constant reports on Roma’s pursuit of the Romanian star.
Earlier today Mutu’s international team-mate Christian Chivu revealed that his friend was contemplating a move to the Eternal City.
“He is very tempted by Roma,” Chivu told Il Messaggero.
“He has been asking me about things and he would be a superb signing for a squad that are already very strong contenders.”
Now Il Romanista and Rete Sport have further fuelled the rumours of a possible transfer with details of an exchange between Mutu and a group of Roma supporters.
The 29-year-old is said to have made a stopover at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport while on a flight back to Florence. While there a section of Roma fans asked Mutu if he would be joining there club, to which the striker replied, “I don’t know.”
This reply has led the Italian press to believe that there is a distinct possibility that the former Chelsea man could indeed end up at the Stadio Olimpico next season.
