Cristian Chivu’s future remains in the balance as Real Madrid reportedly bid £10.8m, so the pressure is back on Inter.
Roma have confirmed the defender is up for sale and a bidding war has broken out between Italy and Spain.
While Barcelona appear to have pulled out of negotiations after having been very close to his signature, Real Madrid are now battling the Nerazzurri every step of the way.
It is reported that new tactician Berndt Schuster has requested Chivu to strengthen the Merengues defence.
Chivu has already given his preference to Inter, but if the club will not match Real’s latest £10.8m offer, then Roma may send him to Spain instead.
So far Massimo Moratti is said to have bid a maximum of £10m, while the Giallorossi set his price-tag at £12m.
Roma Say No To Barça For Perrotta According to rumours Barcelona have also enquired about midfielders Daniele De Rossi and Simone Perrotta in the negotiations for Christian Chivu.
It is not a mystery that Barcelona, in the negotiations for Roma's Christian Chivu, have asked the Giallorossi also about midfielder Daniele De Rossi. A superficial enquiry to figure out the Roman club's position with regards to their home-grown players. However, it is not only De Rossi they are interested in.
According to latest rumours, during the recent meeting between the clubs at Villa Pacelli, Barça sporting director Txiki Beguiristan also discussed Simone Perrotta. But Roma's answer was the same as with De Rossi.
Perrotta is not on the market, he has a contract until 2010 and the club have no intention of letting him go. And even if that were the case, they would have to deal with Luciano Spalletti, as the player is considered a fundamental element of the coach by the Roma coach.
If Roma want to continue playing with their 4-2-3-1 system, in fact, they won't want to let Perrotta go as he fills in a crucial role in the playmaker position behind lone striker Francesco Totti.
