Giallorossi's £9.5m bid for Baptista Saturday 28 June, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roma have made Real Madrid a £9.5m offer for Brazilian star Julio Baptista, claim the Spanish media.
This is not the first time the club has been linked with ‘The Beast’ and according to today’s edition of newspaper Marca, the negotiations are progressing.
The Giallorossi have put forward a bid of £9.5m, although it is still slightly below Real’s £11.8m asking price.
“I am on holiday in Brazil and so don’t know anything about current negotiations,” Baptista told Marca.
“My main plan is to stay at Real, but you can never tell what the future holds and Roma are a great club.”
He had the opportunity to see Luciano Spalletti’s side close up last season when Roma knocked Real Madrid out of the Champions League.
The 26-year-old has been in La Liga since joining Sevilla in 2003 and moved to Real Madrid in 2005, albeit with a 2006-07 loan spell at Arsenal.
Baptista has a Spanish passport, so he can be bought as an EU player. |
