Roma appear set to part company with defender Samuel Kuffour next summer.

Roma appear set to part company with defender Samuel Kuffour next summer.

Relations between the two parties have been strained ever since the Giallorossi refused to grant Kuffour permission to join up with the Ghanaian national team earlier this season despite the player's determination to do so.

In the subsequent Serie A match against Palermo Kuffour requested to be substituted after sustaining a thigh injury.

Kuffour has not played since amid rumours that he enjoys an uneasy relationship with coach Luciano Spalletti.

Spalletti is now believed to be ready to release the former Bayern Munich player should a suitable offer be forthcoming.
