Roma deny Mutu swap deal

Roma have denied reports a summer move for Juventus' Adrian Mutu.

Roma chief executive Rossella Sensi has moved to deny reports linking the Giallorossi with a summer move for Adrian Mutu.

The capital outfit have been linked with the disgraced former Chelsea striker, despite the fact he has yet to appear for Juventus because of suspension.

Juventus have continually been mentioned in the same breath as Antonio Cassano - with a swap deal now mooted.

However, Sensi insists that the reports have little substance and that rather, Cassano is more than content with his current situation.

''Mutu at Roma in the summer? I don't know,'' conceded Sensi.

''But, today's presence of Cassano in the stand, despite his ban, just shows his big affection for Roma.''

Sensi is confident that the club will soon engage in contract talks with key trio Francesco Totti, Vincenzo Montella and Cassano.

"Certainly, there is the intention to talk with all three and renew their contracts,'' declared Sensi.

''We will see when we all meet. It's important to renew their contracts and join the Champions League.

''And today, we are three points from a Champions League place - and the aim is the renewal of the players' contracts.''
