There is also contract talk over at Roma, where Cassano’s recent bad behaviour has not swayed the club from trying to keep hold of him.
The talented youngster is only tied to the Stadio Olimpico until 2006, so failure to pen a new deal would see him sold off at the end of this season.
However, negotiations for a pay-per-view contract worth £30m over two years should give them the ready cash needed to give Cassano the same wages as Totti for £3m a season.
