Roma diberitakan ingin mendapatkan striker Adrian Mutu. Tapi La Viola enggan melepas pemain andalannya itu. Rumor beredar, Fiorentina akan membiarkan Mutu pergi, asal Simone Perrotta termasuk dalam paket transfer itu.
Agen Perrotta, Beppe Bozzo, langsung membantah kebenaran gosip ini. "Itu semua tak benar, hanya fantasi saja. Tak ada yang benar mengenai rumor itu. Perrotta akan tinggal di Roma, dia punya kontrak sampai 2010 dan kecil kemungkinan untuk pindah" tegas Bozzo seperti dkutip Goal, Sabtu (5/7/2008).
Sementara menurut media Italia, peluang terjadinya pertukaran Mutu-Perrotta tidaklah mustahil. Roma sudah memasang harga 15 juta euro. Walaupun pelatih Luciano Spalletti tak ingin Perrotta pindah, mungkin dia berpikir ulang jika kubu La Viola bersedia membayar harga itu.

"Liverpool are awaiting completion of the necessary paperwork before officially announcing John Arne Riise's transfer to AS Roma," said the club in a statement.
However, the quick-natured Italians went deeper into news of the transfer.
A statement said: "AS Roma announce they have reached an agreement with Liverpool for the acquisition of the sporting rights of the player John Arne Riise with effect from July 1 2008.
"AS Roma will also pay Liverpool Football Club the following sums: 100,000 euros (£79,250) per season should Roma qualify for the UEFA Champions League in 2009/10 and 2010/11.
"Furthermore, Liverpool will also receive 75,000 euros (£60,000) for every 25 official matches the player participates in, up to a maximum of 300,000 euros (£237,550)."
Left-back Riise joined Liverpool in 2001 from Ligue 1 side Monaco and became a regular under Gerard Houllier. He soon endeared himself to the Kop with some spectacular long-range goals.
He won the Champions League in 2005 and the FA Cup in 2006 in his time at Anfield but he saw his fom dip in recent seasons, while he won't want to be reminded of his first-leg own goal against Chelsea in the Champions League semi-fnal.
Roma seal Vučinić transfer
Loan move
The 24-year-old joined Roma on loan two summers ago and the Giallorossi have now secured his transfer after he struck nine goals in 33 league matches for last season's Serie A runners-up. Roma will pay the fee in three annual instalments for Vučinić, who impressed in the club's UEFA Champions League campaign, scoring four times in eight appearances. Meanwhile, FC Internazionale Milano forward Mario Balotelli has signed a new contract with the Nerazzurri committing himself to the Italian champions until 2011. The 17-year-old Balotelli made his Serie A debut in December and played eleven times scoring three goals as the club collected a third consecutive title.
Baptista drops Roma hint
Brazil forward Julio Baptista has admitted a move from Real Madrid to AS Roma could be an attractive proposition.
Baptista spent much of the last campaign as a substitute at the Bernabeu during another frustrating year in Spain.
The 26-year-old has struggled to break into the first-team picture following a move from Sevilla three years ago and could be on his way to Italy with the Giallorossi.
"Roma are a great club and they play really good football," he admitted.
"At the moment I think that I will be staying in Madrid, but anything is possible in my future."
Meanwhile, Roma have completed the signing of experienced Siena defender Simone Loria and acquired the remaining 50 per cent of forward Mauro Esposito's contract from Cagliari.
