Roma Have Enquired After Liverpool Defender Andrea Dossena


The agent of Liverpool left-back Andrea Dossena has revealed that Serie A side Roma are prepared to battle Napoli during the January transfer window for the signature of the Italian international.

“Roma have made an initial approach,” representative Roberto La Florio told Romanews.eu.

“They are clearly a great team and Rome is a wonderful city. I am also aware that Napoli are interested in the lad. So, we’ll see what happens.”

The 28-year-old defender has failed to make an impact at Anfield since his move from Udinese in the summer of 2008 and is said to be keen on a return to his homeland to boost his chances of making Marcello Lippi’s Italy squad for next summer’s World Cup finals.

“Andrea is getting little space at Liverpool and would like to go back to Italy to play more regularly,” explained the agent.

“He wants to be part of Lippi’s 23-man party for the tournament in South Africa. We are evaluating the possibility of continuing with the English side.

“It will depend on the Reds too. We have to understand whether they want to loan him out or plan to sell him. In that case, we should assess his transfer fee.”
