Gigi Buffon has also rubbished claims contract talks between himself and the club have stalled and said that they will restart in time.
One player who has agreed a new contract is Napoli’s Edinson Cavani who has reportedly agreed terms on a much improved deal which, unfortunately for Partenopei fans, also includes a €55m buy-out clause.
The San Paolo outfit also hope to complete the signing of Genoa’s Giandomenico Mesto this week.
AC Milan have reportedly met with Roma officials today and have inquired about the possibility of bringing Bojan Krkic on loan for the coming campaign although M’Baye Niang is close to joining from Caen.

One player leaving the club is Sergio Floccari who is on the verge of a move to Bologna whose star Gaston Ramirez is on his way out after all as Southampton have managed to agree a deal with the Rossoblu.

He is not the only player who the Viola hope to get rid of from their large squad with Andrea Lazzari close to a move to Udinese although Chievo have not given up hope of signing him while Daniele Prade is openly looking for buyers for Romulo.
