Roma must up Mexes bid Tuesday 15 June, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Auxerre have told Roma to increase their offer for Philippe Mexes if they want to sign the defender.
The Giallorossi have agreed a deal with the player but no fee has been settled between the two clubs.
"We met with Roma’s sporting director Franco Baldini but we couldn’t agree," Auxerre Coach Guy Roux told France Football.
"The Italian offer of £5m is too weak. Roma want Philippe but they have to give us an acceptable price.
"Our first desire is to let the player go where he wants. However, we must not be damaged as Mexes still has two years left on his contract with us."
The capital club have targeted Mexes to replace Walter Samuel after he joined Real Madrid for £15m.
Auxerre want around £10m(1500万欧元) for the stopper, a figure that Manchester United were prepared to pay for the 22-year-old.
"Man Utd offered us that but the player’s agent refused the move," continued Roux. "It seems he was afraid Philippe would not play there.
"We were close to finding an agreement with the Premiership side."
Meanwhile, Sampdoria have signed Vitalii Kutuzov from Milan. The Belarus striker spent last season on loan with Avellino.
