FIFA agent Ernesto Bronzetti believes that Cristian Chivu is more keen to join Barcelona rather than Inter.
zoom - galleria Yesterday, reports in Italy suggested that AS Roma’s Cristian Chivu was very close to join the Nerazzurri, with the Romanian captain seemingly keen to remain in Serie A.
However, FIFA agent Ernesto Bronzetti, who is mediating the transfer negotiations between Barcelona and AS Roma, has today revealed that Chivu would rather join the Azulgrana.
"As far as I know, Chivu would prefer a move to Barcelona and it will only be a matter of time before they come to an agreement with AS Roma," he said.
"I am aware that newspapers have reported that Chivu wants to join Inter, but lately you can’t always rely on what newspapers tell and I also refute rumours suggesting a move to Real Madrid.
"There could be a cash-plus player deal. Giuly, Belletti and Silvinho are the players that have been mentioned so far.
"However, if Spalletti decides that none of such players are essential to Roma, then there will only be talk of a cash deal.
"In one day or two we will exactly know whether Chivu will become a Barcelona player or not."
