Italian outlet Ilmessaggero are the bearers of uninspiring news.
The claim made is that AS Roma’s Director of Football, Walter Sabatini has been spotted at least 2 occasions recently with the agent of Jan Vertonghen. AS Roma were linked with a move for the big Belgian with the bad body language, prior to him joining Spurs.
Since then of course, Tottingham have binned André Villas-Boas, installed Tim But Grim and and look set upon a Premier League finish that 100% will not deliver Champions League football. At this stage, Europa football looks less than likely.
AS Roma of course, despite selling off some of their best players last year, look nailed on for CL qualification.
The piece in Ilmessaggero says that Napoli are also lurking, but the suggestion is that it’s the Giallorossi that would have the edge.
Levy & Co. need to quit the “we’re on holiday” bs, and start doing an impression of someone running a football club. I’m unconvinced that have it in them.
