ROMA MAKE MOVE FOR MUTU
Mutu - wanted by Roma.
Roma have tabled a bid for Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu, with La Viola now weighing up their options.
The Romania international had been rumoured to be a transfer target for the capital club for some time, although no official approach had been made.
However, with a firm bid now on the table Fiorentina admit that they are prepared to listen to offers for the striker.
"I am not one who gambles, I like to play with my cards on the table," the director of sport at Artemio Franchi, Pantaleo Corino, told Italian reporters.
"In the last few hours I have received an official offer from Roma.
"Taking this into consideration, it is my job and that of Fiorentina to meet with the club making the inquiries.
"Fiorentina's policy is to keep its players, but when it comes to someone close to the age of 30, if they ask to leave then it is our duty to listen to eventual offers.
"It seems right and logical to consider the offer and, if it is valid, to talk it over.
"It is legitimate for a player to ask to leave and think about their alternatives. It's possible Mutu wants something other than Fiorentina."
